Crazy Hand Launches Bulychev to Top

Level 5 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Ilya Bulychev
Ilya Bulychev

Three players saw an {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} 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: {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Thomer Pidun: {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Ilya Bulychev: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

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 {K-Spades} 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 {J-Clubs} 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.
