Skalak Takes From Orman

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The board was down {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}, and Leonid Orman was facing a 750,000 bet in the big blind from Vojtech Skalak who was on the button. Orman made the call, and the players saw a {q-Hearts} river card.

Orman tapped the table three times to signal a check and Skalak decided to bet 1.5m into the 2.5m pot. Orman went into the tank as Skalak remained still awaiting his opponent's decision. After a minute had passed, Orman slowly moved his cards towards the dealer and sacrificed the pot to Skalak.

Skalak, who is a former partypoker LIVE Golden Chip promotion winner, moves up to 6,000,000.

Novikova Eliminated

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Down to just 165,000, Liliya Novikova moved all in from under the gun and was called by table neighbor Alexandr Labunskiy and Maxim Panyak. Both remaining active players checked down the board {Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Panyak showed {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}. Novikova was beat with her {A-Spades}{8-Spades} and it was Labunskiy that scooped the pot with {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a pair of kings.

Adams Gets Shove Through

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Timothy Adams
Timothy Adams

With the majority of the field being European players, Timothy Adams is one of the few exceptions. The Canadian player came back for Day three with 25 big blinds and had already found a spot to move all in.

The action folded around to Armen Khachatryan on the button, and he raised to 200,000. Adams was in the small blind and moved all in for 2,000,000. After the player in the big blind folded, Khachatryan contemplated his decision for 30 seconds before he let Adams pick up the pot preflop.

Aloev; Veksler and Horak Eliminated

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Asker Aloev, Pavel Veksler and Jiri Horak have all been eliminated.

Veksler told Russian poker media that he defended ace-four out of the big blind and check-called down all the way on a board of {A-}{Q-}{J-}{3-}{5-} and was shown pocket treys for a turned set.

Jiri Horak doubled in the first hand, but was also spotted out of the tournament area. "I flopped a flush with eight-four, but the lady had the higher flush with jack-ten." Said lady is Ekaterina Fedyaeva, who built her stack to more than 12 million.

Kozhevnikov Cracks Queens

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Igor Kozhevnikov moved all in for 1,140,000 first to act and Alexey Melnikov tossed in a single chip for the call, all other players folded.

Igor Kozhevnikov: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Alexey Melnikov: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop gave Kozhevnikov a gutshot and sure enough, he improved to a straight with the {Q-Clubs} on the turn. The {6-Spades} river failed to pair the board for Melnikov and Kozhevnikov doubled.

Diego Zeiter was less fortunate and busted from a different table just moments later.

Skripkin Cracks Hasnir's Kings

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Maksim Skripkin raised to 170,000 from early position and the player in the next seat called. With the action now on Richard Hasnir he three-bet to 650,000. The rest of the table folded and Skripkin moved all in for 1.6m, with one player folding before Hasnir snap-called.

Maksim Skripkin: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Richard Hasnir: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Board: {4-Clubs}{q-Spades}{2-Spades}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Skripkin was in big trouble preflop and on the verge of elimination until the flop brought one of his two immediate outs. The turn spade card gave Hasnir additional outs with a redraw to the flush, but the river bricked for him, and Skripkin secured an unlikely double up.

Kudinov's Aces Best Utemov's Kings

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Sergey Lomakin had been eliminated earlier today and his vacated seat was filled with Viktor Kudinov, who got involved into a big pot with Ivan Utemov. The flop showed {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and Utemov bet 1.2 million with another 1.0 million behind. Kudinov moved all in and Utemov called it off.

Ivan Utemov: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Viktor Kudinov: {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}

The {J-Clubs} turn and {J-Hearts} river run out failed to improve Utemov and he was sent to the rail.

Gofman Doubles Zvorygin; Lampropulos Busts

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Maria Lampropulos
Maria Lampropulos

Oleg Titov and Maria Lampropulos have been eliminated, while Sergei Zvorygin doubled through defending champion Aleksandr Gofman.

Gofman had raised and called the shove of Zvorygin for 1,020,000 with the {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}, facing the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} of his opponent. The board came {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} and Zvorygin improved to a full house. Next to Gofman sits Michael Sklenicka, who had also reached the final table of this very event one year ago.

Another MILLIONS champion was even less fortunate in Maria Lampropulos. The Argentinian three-bet all in out of the small blind with {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} after a button raise by Hadi Khordbin and Maksin Misura in the big blind reshoved with {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} to force out Khordbin. The flip went to Misura, who spiked an ace on the board to eliminate Lampropulos.
