flop and aother 8,100 on the 
turn before checking the 
river for the third street in a row. Maksoud grabbed further chips and fired a third barrel worth 25,300.
This was too much for Rybachenko and Maksoud is the second player with six digits.

The board was already complete with 
spread in front of the dealer. The player in the small blind bet 5,000 and called the raise of Serhat Cetiner to 15,000 rather quickly. When shown 
by the finalist of the LEI Main Event, the player in the small blind smashed his cards to the middle of the table and wasn't happy at all.

Joining the action on the 
turn, Timur Margolin reluctantly check-called a bet of 5,500 by Benjamin Winsor and then checked the 
on the river again. Winsor grabbed two blue T-5,000 chips and announced a bet of 8,800, which sent Margolin into the think-tank. The Israeli however didn't fold but moved all in instead to enforce a fold from the Brit.

Joining the action on a flop of 
, Simeon Naydenov checked and Michael Mizrachi bet 1,900, which only Nikolay Tsanev called. On the 
turn "The Grinder" tossed in a 5,000 chip and Tsanev called after some consideration. With the on the river, it was up to Mizrachi again and he bet 15,000.
Tsanev took a few minutes before cutting out a min-raise to 30,000 with roughly 18,000 chips behind. Mizrachi was very tempted to click back and even said in table chat that he was willing to "leave him with one green (25 chips) behind". The attempt to get any info from his opponent however failed, as Tsanev kept listening to music on his headphones and "The Grinder" ended up mucking his cards.
