Action was joined on the turn in a three-way pot between Uri Reichenstein in the cutoff, a player in the small blind, and Dmitry Yurasov in the big blind. There was about 85,000 in the pot on a board that read {3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and the small blind checked to Yurasov, who bet 22,000. Reichenstein raised to 82,000 and the small blind folded. Yurasov thought for a bit and put in a three-bet to 182,000 and Reichensten ended up making the call. The river came {6-Spades} and Yurasov fired out a bet of 260,000. Reichenstein quickly sent his cards into the muck and Yurasov took down the pot without showdown.

Anna Antimony
Anna Antimony

Anna Antimony opened with a raise to 22,000 from middle position. Action folded to Vadim Shlez in the big blind who re-raised to 67,000, Antimony called.

Antimony check shoved for 210,000 after Shlez bet 55,000 on a {7-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, Shlez called.

Anna Antimony: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Vadim Shlez: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Antimony flopped top pair but was trailing the pocket queens of Shlez. The turn came the {5-Clubs} and with no draws on the board, Antimony needed a ten or jack to stay alive.

The river would be neither of those as it came the {6-Clubs} and Antimony was eliminated from the tournament
