Crazy Hand Launches Bulychev to Top
Three players saw an 
flop together, with Andrej Desset first to act. He checked, as did Thomer Pidun. Ilya Bulychev bet 150,000, Desset check-raised to 417,000 and Pidun cold-called the check-raise.
Bulychev took less than five seconds before announcing all in for 1,423,000. Desset also shoved all in and Pidun snap-called, creating a side pot of around 2 million on top of the main pot.
Andrej Desset: 
Thomer Pidun: 
Ilya Bulychev: 
It was a gigantic setup for Pidun, who had ran into the dreaded set-over-set situation. Desset was in prime position to scoop up a monster pot but the 
on the turn changed everything. Bulychev suddenly improved from the worst to the best hand, which left both Desset and Pidun drawing to their single out.
The river was the 
and Bulychev scooped the main pot. The Russian celebrated his good fortune with several fist-pumps in the air. Desset took the side pot with the higher set and Pidun was eliminated.
