Davit Mikhanashvili kicked off the action with a raise to 3,500 from the hijack. Eliyahu Elyashiv called in the small blind, and the duo went heads up to the Q♦5♣9♠ flop.
Mikhanashvili continued for 4,000, which Elyashiv check-raised to 13,000. Mikhanashvili called, and did so again when Elyashiv fired 18,000 on the 3♠ turn.
Elyashiv did not slow down on the 6♥ river. He bet 26,000, but Mikhanashvili did not deem it enough and moved all in for 150,000. Elyashiv looked his opponent up with the covering stack.
Mikhanashvili had top pair with A♣Q♠, but Elyashiv had flopped two pair with Q♣9♣, scoring the first knockout of Day 1c.
