Niveau 4
: 100/300, 300 ante
Mikhail Shalamov apppeared to be solving a Rubik's cube whereas in reality he was mixing it up having already solved it. Meanwhile cards were being dealt. A couple of folds went by as Shalamov got to work on the first side, the white side.
With action on Shalamov he quickly stopped what he was doing and raised to 800. He resumed shuffling his cube and by the time four calls had been announced and the flop had been dealt, he had one side already complete.
The flop was 
. It folded to Shalamov who bet 1,600 in between working on the next few sides. Shalamov got one call from Aleksandr Shavykin.
It was Shavykin who bet 2,000 on the 
turn and Shalamov put down his cube before calling. The river was the 
. Shavykin bet 3,000 and Shalamov snap-called. Shavykin showed 
and Shalamov showed 
to take down the pot.
Not even the most dexterous of poker players could rake in a pot and solve a cube, and this pot moved Shalamov closer to the 50,000 chip mark.
The cards were shuffled and dealt. Shalamov folded and resumed his cube action. A bet from one player. A call form another. Meanwhile Shalamov had finished his cube before the flop was even dealt.

Sushant Praises Dealers and Impressed by Numbers
Niveau 5
: 200/400, 400 ante
Aditya Sushant says he is enjoying his time in Russia so far. So much so that he has fired four bullets in the EPT National.
"I really wasn't expecting these numbers," said Sushant in the middle of a packed tournament room here at Casino Sochi. "They got 400 or something last year and now 300 in this flight alone."
With registration still open for just over two more levels, that number could rise further. Sushant says he's been impressed by the festival.
"It's really nice. One thing I've really been impressed with has been the dealers. There have been hardly any mistakes, it's incredible. You go to some places where they're short of dealers and there are mistakes, but here I've maybe seen only one or two."
Sochi has been hosting poker tournaments since 2017 and Sushant believes the attendance of fesetivals such as the EPT could increase further.
"They really love poker. There's such an online presence and it's really picking up. Obviously this is the only place they can do it."
By his own admission, Sushant is "hanging in there" on his fourth bullet in the EPT National.
"I'm really excited for the main though!"
