Bensimhon's Unicorn
Bensimhon's Unicorn

In the final hand before the break, the always animated Eyal Bensimhon and Mykhailo Hryhoriev played a pot in the blinds. Folded to Hryhoriev in the small blind, he limped and Bensimhon raised to 450,000. He then picked up his unicorn and made a folding gesture to Hryhoriev, prompting laughs from onlookers. Hryhoriev couldn't hide a faint smile either but ended up calling anyway.

On the {j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, Hryhoriev checked, Bensimhon bet 375,000 and once again used the stuffed animal as leverage to get his opponent to fold. Hryhoriev obliged this time to take the players into the break.

In two back-to-back hands, Renat Bohdanov extended his chip lead to leave him inches shy of the 10M mark. Mykhailo Hryhoriev raised to 475,000 on the button and Bohdanov defended the big blind. The {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop prompted two checks.

On the {4-Spades} turn, Bohdanov reached for 650,000 and Hryhoriev quickly waved the white flag.

The next hand, the Ukranian defended the small blind to a 425,000 under the gun raise from Samuel Mika. The {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop went check-check. Bohdanov check-called 725,000 on the {2-Spades} turn before the {j-Diamonds} river brought another round of checks.

Bohdanov showed {k-Spades}{9-Spades} for a pair of nines, Mika flashed {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and mucked.
