The cards of Dmytro Bystrovzorov were already in the muck and he had to fork over a decent portion of his stack. Mark Ruvinov said in table chat "even pocket deuces is better than ace king" which may be an indication what Bystrovzorov held in the previous showdown that had just unfolded.

were the best hand on the 
board as Bystrovzorov was sent back to just above the starting stack.
