Bondar Hits the Rail
Niveau 15
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Andrey Bondar got the last of his chips in and both Rushad Iskandarov and Sergey Kolyasnikov called in the small and big blinds respectively.
There was no further betting on the 
flop. Iskandarov bet 10,000 on the 
turn, which Kolyasnikov called, generating a side pot. Both players checked the 
river.
Rushad Iskandarov: 
Sergey Kolyasnikov:
Andrey Bondar: 
Bondar was unfortunate not to win as he had been a long way ahead preflop and he has to head towards the exit just a few places outside of the money.
