Khordbin Rises to a Big Stack

Level 21 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Sergey Blagodarniy and Andrey Litvinov were eliminated from the same table in quick succession.

Litvinov faced the shove of Hadi Khordbin in the big blind on a three-way turn of {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and used five of his six time banks before calling it off for around 2 million in the cutoff. Vladislav Solovyev quickly folded on the button and the cards were turned over.

Andrey Litvinov: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Hadi Khordbin: {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}

Litvinov had plenty of outs, but the {3-Clubs} on the river was not among them to send him to the rail.

Nikita Kalinin
Nikita Kalinin

Andrey Pateychuk raised to 275,000 on the button and was called by Nikita Kalinin in the big blind. On a flop of {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, Kalinin check-raised from 275,000 to 950,000 and Pateychuk called to see the {9-Clubs} on the turn. A bet of Kalinin worth 1.1 million was called and Kalinin then shoved the {3-Clubs} river.

Pateychuk called and Kalinin turned over his {A-Spades}{9-Hearts} for trips nines and Pateychuk tabled the {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for the nut flush as winning hand.

Farrell Flushes Arbatskiy

Level 21 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

Niall Farrell opened from middle position and a short-stacked Ivan Arbatskiy three-bet all in for nine big blinds from one seat over, Farrell called.

Ivan Arbatskiy: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Niall Farrell: {7-Spades}{4-Spades}

The {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} flop was magic for Farrell as he flopped the flush, but Arbatskiy had the redraw to the nut flush. The {2-Diamonds} turn and {6-Clubs} river were both blanks and that was it for Arbatskiy.

Moments later, Dmitriy Ponomarev vanished from a different table and became the next casualty.

The completed board was down {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, and both Iliya Iliyaguev and Egor Evsin had checked to Luke Thursfield who bet 800,000. Iliyaguev raised to 2,00,000 and Evsin folded. Thursfield thought for 30 seconds before he decided to call.

Chernokoz Among the Chip Leaders

Level 22 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

A pot of more than 5.0 million had emerged until the river of a board {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and Saar Wilf checked over to his table neighbor Andrey Chernokoz, who bet 3.7 million.

"This makes no sense. Would you check ace-king?" Wilf said. Without using a time bank, he then folded and added "show me nine-ten," however, Chernokoz raked in the pot without showing any card and a big smile on the face.

Gruissem Departs

Philipp Gruissem
Philipp Gruissem

Philipp Gruissem was spotted on his way out of the tournament area and he was kind enough to explain that he lost his last 15 big blinds with pocket sevens against an opponent with pocket eights.

Fellow partypoker ambassador Anatoly Filatov is the last one to fly the flag for the team and does so as one of the current chip leaders.

Shaburov Doubles Through Melnikov

Level 22 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

After defending his small blind against the under-the-gun raise of Alexey Melnikov, Aleksey Shaburov check-raised the {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop to 1.285 million and Melnikov called. Shaburov pushed for 3.375 million on the {K-Hearts} turn and Melnikov called.

Aleksey Shaburov: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Alexey Melnikov: {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}

Melnikov had improved to the inferior two pair and needed a king to deal the final blow to Shaburov, but the {5-Clubs} on the river was a blank to put a small dent into the big stack of Melnikov.
