Yury Gulyy Eliminates Egor Bulychev

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

We didn't see how the money went in, but Egor Bulychev was all in and ahead of his opponent Yury Gulyy. Bulychev held {j-}{j-} while Gulyy held {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

The flop came {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{8-Hearts} with no help for Gulyy. The turn was the {5-Hearts} giving him a flush draw, and the river {3-Hearts} completed the flush draw, ensuring that Gulyy eliminated his opponent shortly before the dinner break.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and all three players checked. The turn was the {a-Spades} and it checked to Ghavam who bet 5,525. Naumov called and the third player in the hand folded.

The river was the {9-Hearts} and Naumov checked to Ghavam who bet 6,500. Naumov then check-raised his Iranian opponent to 18,900.

After some thought, Ghavam called. Naumov showed {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} but Ghavam had found the call with just top pair {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and took down a healthy pot.

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Evgeny Nekrasov raised to 1,400 and Aleksandr Gofman called. Aleksandr Denisov min-clicked to 2,200 and Nekrasov was taken aback, then asked to confirm whether or not it was a legit raise. The min-click was indeed correct and Nekrasov called, Gofman also came along.

The flop fell {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and the action checked to Denisov, who bet 2,600. Both opponents called and once again checked the {3-Hearts} turn. Denisov fired a second bet worth 5,800 and this time two folds followed to let Denisov pick up the pot without resistance.

Panyak Below Starting Stack

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

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 {A-Clubs} turn, the action checked to Manashov and he bet 8,000, Panyak folded and Rodin called. The {7-Hearts} 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.
