Aubakirov Caught Bluffing

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Hand 1

Daniyar Aubakirov raised to 40,000 from the button and Nadar Kakhmazov called, then announced a check in the dark. Aubakirov checked behind the {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop and the {A-Spades} fell on the turn. Kakhmazov checked, Aubakirov bet 45,000 and was called by Kakhmazov.

After the {Q-Spades} river, Kakhmazov quickly checked once again and Aubakirov bet 105,000. After some consideration, Kakhmazov called and was shown {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} by Aubakirov, claiming the pot with {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.

Hand 2

Alexander Lakhov opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Vitaliy Li three-bet to 112,000, which Lakhov called. The flop fell {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Lakhov checked. Li bet 85,000 and Lakhov quickly grabbed into his stack to play around with the calling chips. However, Lakhov ultimately folded-

Hand 3

Aubakirov raised to 45,000 and Lakhov called in the big blind. The flop of {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} brought a check, a continuation bet and a quick fold by Lakhov.

Junya Yamada Eliminated in 14th Place (RUB 1,815,000)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Junya Yamada
Junya Yamada

Vladimir Troyanovskiy raised to 45,000 from the hijack and Junya Yamada three-bet all in for 211,000 from the button. Dmitry Vitkind then four-bet all in himself from the big blind and Troyanovskiy folded.

Vitkind: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Yamada: {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

It wasn't a good flop for Yamada coming {3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{k-Hearts}. There was even less help with the {q-Clubs} on the turn meaning Yamada was drawing dead and the {8-Spades} was too little too late, meaning Yamada is eliminated in 14th Place ($32,114)

Kakhmazov Shoves Twice

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

For the first time in quite a while, Pavel Shirshikov has dropped below a million in chips and it was a result of two jams by Nadar Kakhmazov.

Alexander Lakhov raised to 44,000 and Shirshikov called in the cutoff. Vitaliy Li three-bet big to 175,000 on the button and won the pot. Next up, Shirshikov raised to 48,000 and Kakhmazov jammed. Shirshikov folded {A-Spades}{10-Clubs} face up.

Last but not least, Shirshikov raised to 48,000 again and Kakhmazov called on the button. Lakhov defended the big blind and checked the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop. Shirshikov bet 60,000 and Kakhmazov jammed for the second time. Lakhov quickly folded and Shirshikov did so as well by revealing the {A-Spades}. Kakhmazov returned the favor and flashed his {A-Clubs}.

Chebotarev Shoves on Outer Table

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Alexander Lakhov raised to 45,000 and Lavrentiy Ni called in the big blind. The duo ended up checking down a board of {J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Ni flashed {A-Spades}{10-Spades}. Lakhov revealed his {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} just to make sure there wasn't a chop, but Ni took down the pot. Lakhov recovered the chips the next hand by raising to 44,000, as all opponents folded.

Right after, Daniyar Aubakirov made it 40,000 to go and Nadar Kakhmazov called on the button. Oleg Chebotarev moved all in from the small blind and forced folds all around.
