Panyak Below Starting Stack

There are plenty of chips at the table of Maxim Panyak, but the National High Roller champion here in Sochi has plummeted to fewer than the starting stack. He got into a three-way hand with Grigorii Rodin and check-called a bet worth 3,800 out of the big blind, as did Dmitry Manashov on the button.

After the turn, the action checked to Manashov and he bet 8,000, Panyak folded and Rodin called. The river was checked and Manashov mucked his cards to forfeit the pot.

One hand later, Rodin opened to 1,500 and folded when Alexander Lukyanov three-bet to 3,700. The other big stacks on the table are Siarhei Buracheuski and Vladimir Troyanovskiy.

Dmitry Manashov	70,000	-25,000
