Tikhov Earns Lucky Chop; Di Persio Doubles Through Jaatinen
Artem Kobylynskyi raised to 80,000 and Ivan Tikhov three-bet jammed for 560,000. It folded back to Kobylynskyi and he agonised over the decision to then eventually call.
Ivan Tikhov: K♥10♥ 
Artem Kobylynskyi: K♦Q♠
"Oh shit," Tikhov instantly said when he saw Kobylynskyi with the superior kicker. The board ran out K♠9♦2♦K♣9♥ and they chopped it up, Tikhov sat back down with the words "lucky me".
Lulei Hu then opened to 90,000. He faced the all-in of Marco Di Persio for 790,000 on the button and Teemu Jaatinen called in the next seat, Hu folded.
Marco Di Persio: A♠K♠
Teemu Jaatinen: 10♠10♥
The A♣8♥5♦ flop improved Di Persio and Hu cried "not like that". Nozhing changed with the 9♦ turn and 6♦ river for Di Persio to double much to the delight of his Italian rail.
