There were roughly 180,000 chips in the pot on 9109810.

Tom Fuchs in the cutoff bet 60,000, and Alex Anton on the button threw in a time chip then eventually called. It was bad news for Anton as Fuchs tabled a full house with A10, then Anton frustratingly mucked his hand.

Aliaksandr Shylko
Aliaksandr Shylko

The board read Q57Q with over 70,000 already in the middle when this hand was picked up.

Timur Margolin bet 17,000 from the cutoff, and that was enough for Aliaksandr Shylko, as he mucked his hand to award the pot to Margolin.

The very next hand began with a limp from Vinny Lingham from under the gun. Aliaksandr Shylko raised before Lingham three-bet to 27,000. Shylko made the call.

The 448 flop led to a check from Lingham. Shylko was not shy and offered a bet of 20,000. Lingham made the call.

Lingham checked again on the Q turn. Shylko continued betting with a wager of 50,000. This was the end of the road for Lingham as he chose to fold AK face up to award the pot to Shylko.

Gaehl Shows Winner

Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

It was a raised pot that went four-handed to a flop of 697 when this hand was picked up. Vladimir Minko chose to bet 6,000 from the small blind and was called in three places by Sebastian Gaehl in the big blind, Eelis Parssinen from middle position, and Robert James from the hijack.

It checked all the way down on the J turn and the K river to go to a showdown.

Minko showed A9 for a pair of nines, but it was no good as Gaehl tabled J9 for two pair to take down the pot.
