The flop came down 10♦A♠10♥, and after both players checked, Pamukcu took the lead with a bet of 2,000, which both Alt and Ushakov matched.
Ushakov seized the initiative on the 3♣ turn, betting 2,000. Again, both Alt and Pamukcu called.
When the 5♠ hit the river, Ushakov fired another bet of 4,000, which only Alt called. At showdown, Ushakov revealed A♣10♣ for a flopped full house, easily besting Alt's hand, which quickly found its way to the muck.

With around 3,000 in the pot and the flop revealing 5♣5♥9♣, Barny Boatman checked to Kaza Paterson, who made a move with a bet of 2,000. After a moment's thought, Boatman called.
When the J♠ hit the turn, Boatman took the lead with a bet of 5,000, which Paterson promptly called.
Both players checked the 6♣ river, and Boatman revealed 2♠2♣ for two pair, fives and deuces. He already sensed he might not be winning this one, and he was right. Paterson turned over Q♣Q♦ for two pair, queens and fives, taking down the pot.

After three levels, players are on the first 20-minute break of the day.
In the opening hand, Giorgii Skhulukhiia kicked things off with a raise to 700. Kazi Bairamukov in the small blind and Bobby James in the big blind both called.
The flop came down 7♥8♦J♥, and everyone checked.
On the turn, the 5♣ hit, and Bairamukov led out with a bet of 1,500, which both players called.
When the 5♦ landed on the river, Bairamukov checked again. James then took the initiative with a bet of 3,000. Skhulukhiia thought it over before raising to 10,300. Bairamukov folded, but James took his time before making the call. Skhulukhiia revealed 7♠5♠ for a full house, leaving James with just 200 chips. James later told PokerNews he had J♦9♥, but he didn’t show.
In the next hand, James was in the small blind and effectively all in from the start with only 200 chips left. Mehmet Demirkol in the cutoff raised to 700, and Bairamukov, now on the button, called. James pushed all in for his last 100.
The flop brought 6♣4♣4♠, and Demirkol check-called Bairamukov’s 1,500 bet.
The turn was the K♠, and Demirkol again checked. Bairamukov bet 5,000, and Demirkol called.
On the river, 7♠, Demirkol checked once more, and Bairamukov went all in for 20,000. Demirkol went deep into the tank but ultimately folded. Since James was all in, they went to a showdown. James revealed A♦10♣ for ace-high, but Bairamukov showed A♠K♥ for two pair, taking down the pot and eliminating James from the tournament.

With the news that the Power Path is now a permanent addition to PokerStars, and that players can receive a $0.50 Step 1 Power Path ticket every single day as part of the new PokerStars Rewards program, there's never been a better time to have a look at how the Power Path can reward you and where it can take you.
Both live and online events have featured in the Power Path since its launch last summer, with Special Edition Gold Passes sending lucky players to the NAPT and Las Vegas Grand Prix last December.
This month, we look at the various Passes on offer, including both Gold and Silver Passes for the NAPT festival in Las Vegas, the Women's Winter Festival and the European Poker Tour stop in Prague.
