Artem Babakhanyan limped in from early position and Ben Yu called in the small blind, Martin Kozlov checked his option in the big blind. On the {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, Yu checked and Kozlov bet 20,000 into 48,000, which both his opponents called.

After the {A-Diamonds} turn, Yu and Kozlov checked and Babakhanyan made it 90,000 to go with 260,000 behind. Yu check-raised for the size of the pot, making it 378,000 to go, and Kozlov was sent into the think tank. After one minute, Kozlov let go and Babakhanyan now had a decision to make. After checking his stack carefully, the Russian called it off and the cards were tabled.

Artem Babakhanyan: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Ben Yu: {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

"Do you have a set?" Babakhanyan asked and Yu shrugged his head, he instead had a straight draw and the nut flush draw. The {6-Spades} on the river improved Yu to a straight and Babakhanyan was eliminated before the money. One year ago, he made it all the way to the final table in this very event and finished 4th for $379,128.

"Did you fold a set?" Yu asked Kozlov while the table broke right after the hand was finished and Kozlov nodded, replied "I had fours."
