In a battle of the blinds, Konstantin Kostyakov raised to 1,100 and Hollywood called from one seat over. On the 
flop, Kostyakov continued for 1,600 and was called before making it 3,500 to go on the 
turn. Hollywood glanced over to see the stack of his opponent and then raised to 8,000.
That proved to be too much for Kostyakov, who elected to fold.

The seat next to Konstantin Kostyakov that formerly belonged to Anna Yamshchikova is empty and the Russian has been eliminated recently. Two other players are chasing table chip leader Izzitreallyd: Ondrej Vlasanek and "Hollywood".
Hollywood limped in, Ondrej Vlasanek raised small and Hans Falge called on the button. The small blind reraised to 2,200 and Hollywood made it 6,000 to go. Vlasanek folded, as did Falge, but the small blind called. On the 
flop, the small blind checked and quickly folded to the shove of Hollywood.
