From Russia with Love

Sergey Rybachenko is causing his table all sorts of bother, his stack currently just a gnat's breath away from the magical 100,000 mark.

However, he has recently taken a hit at the hands of Michael Sica who has taken the Russian down a notch or two.

On a flop of {K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{J-Hearts}, Rybachenko check-called a bet of 4,000 before replying in a similar manner to a 12,400 all-in on the {A-Spades} river.

Whilst Rybachenko had {J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for second pair and the inside straight draw, Sica had {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for top pair and the flush draw.

The {A-Diamonds} was a safe one for Sica who doubles through to circa 40,000.
