Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Albert Daher, who has chipped up well so far this level, had fired 14,000 on a 
board with Sergey Rybachenko flat-calling while Asaf Avci folded. The 
turn saw both players check while Rybachenko checked for a third time on the 
river. Daher now bet 58,000 but Rybachenko check-raised all in for around 200,000.
Daher tanked for a few minutes before flashing 
to the people behind him, he then sent his cards sailing into the muck.

This surprised Nikitina who had to think for a while before moving all in as well. Samaha quickly folded but Yamin agonised over the decision.
