Kirill Rabtsov (X)(X){5-?} {5-?} {4-?} {7-?} (X)
Opponent (X)(X){2-?} {J-?}

Garret Levrini completed on fourth street and got two callers. He led again on fourth street and only Kirill Rabtsov called. Fifth street brought another bet from Levrini and a call from Rabtsov. On sixth, Laerini caught a jack and check-called a bet, then checked dark on seventh. Rabtsov bet and Levrini called.

We picked this hand up on fourth street with Ville Wahlbeck leading out and both Kirill Rabtsov and Katja Thater making the call. Wahlbeck led again on fifth, Rabtsov folded and Thater called. Sixth street was more of the same, another bet from Wahlbeck and a call from Thater. Wahlbeck bet the river, but Thater gave up her hand, conceding the pot to Wahlbeck.

After the hand, Thater was left with only 4,000 while Wahlbeck was up to 37,500.
