"You have to write this," said a player with very charming Russian accent on the table of Kiryl Radzivonau. What happened? The Belorussian was all in for his last 8,025 chips after a raise of Grigorii Rodin and the Russian called with . Radzivonau has not "won any point today" (or rather pot) but held up with the board running out .
Four players are listed among the recent eliminations and that includes Paul-Francois Tedeschi. The Frenchman was close to 100,000 in chips, so something huge must have happened. Let's see if we can figure it out.
Sergey Minaev was the one to claim a humongous pot against Paul-Francois Tedeschi and everything was rather innocent on the flop with Minaev betting 3,700 and Tedeschi calling. After the turn, Minaev suddenly fired 55,000 for a massive overbet and Tedeschi didn't think he would do that with the nuts.
The Frenchman got his stack in with for top two pair, but Minaev got his flush on the river while holding . Just wow ...
Jan Bendik was down to 15,000 chips last time we checked again and Serhat Cetiner was cut down to starting stack recently. Both players now have the same stack: Zero.
One Frenchman busted in a big pot, another won a big one. Erwann Pecheux was all in and at risk preflop for his 45,500 stack after a raising war with Timur Margolin. The Israeli made the call with pocket queens and couldn't get there on a board of .

This had Naydenov covered and he eventually folded, claiming in table chat he held , which isn't really a surprise given the table image of "The Grinder".
The American wanted his opponent to pick one card when raking in the pot and "flipped over by mistake" the . "Ohh," he said. Well, was that really a mistake or on purpose just to rub it in? Soon we should also know his stack that remains a mystery for the moment.
Michael Mizrachi raised to 1,800 and Ercan Olgun called before Mohamed Almani three-bet to 5,500. Amir Saeid moved all in for 22,675 and Nikolay Tsanev opted for a call after some consideration. Mizrachi and Olgun folded but Almani moved all in for 27,000 chips total, Tsanev tossed in the extra chips.
Tsanev:
Saeid:
Almani:
Although there was some scare after the turn, the board ran out safely for Almani and he tripled up.
