flop, then on the
turn, then finally on the
river.She showed
Ivey showed
for the flush and the 6 low.
- the small blind checked, big blind Leonidas bet, and button Nikolay Evdakov only called. Now heads up, the
river brought another check from Leonidas, and another bet from Evdakov. Leonidas just called, despite having no low and a third heart having just hit, but his

Previously not mentioned but deserving of at least one today:
Jan Sjavik - 15k
Jeff Duvall - 17k
Alexander Kostritsyn - OUT
The three hands which made it pretty far were:
Jan Sjavik: [XX]
Gavin Smith: [XX]
Dutch Boyd: [XX]
Sjavik had been betting up until fifth street, when he was raised by Smith. Both players made the call, but when Smith bet sixth, Sjavik folded and left it to the two of them. They received their final cards; Boyd checked to Smith, who bet yet again. Boyd thought for a long time, looked at his opponent's hand and then finally laid his own down.
Smith showed him
anyway.

Heads up with Justin Young, John Cernuto bet a
flop, which Young check-called. The same thing happened on the
turn. However, on the
river, Young switched to betting out. After a short while, Cernuto mucked his hand face up -
no good...?He's in the danger zone now with just 3k.
