Niveau: 20
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 20,000
Action was opened to 30,000 from middle position before Ihor Kaliahin put in a cold three-bet from the cutoff to 100,000. The action was then on Leonid Sidelkovskiy on the button who put in a tiny four-bet to 175,000. The original raiser folded and then Kaliahin moved all in.
Sidelkovskiy snap called and the cards hit their backs with Kaliahin all in and at risk.
Ihor Kaliahin: A♥K♦
Leonid Sidelkovskiy: A♣Q♥
Kaliahin drilled two pair on the 8♣K♣A♠ flop. The dealer would still give a sweat when the 3♣ rolled off on the turn giving Sidelkovskiy the nut flush draw. However, the 4♥ river was safe and Kaliahin held to get a double in a big spot right after the bubble.

George Meitanis moved all in from early position for 130,000 and was called by Osman Ihlamur on the button who held a covering stack.
George Meitanis: 7♣6♣
Osman Ihlamur: A♣J♠
Ihlamur was ahead and remained so on the Q♥K♦8♠ flop. The 9♣ turn did give Meitanis an open-ended straight draw, but only the five would help as the ten would give Ihlamur a broadway straight. Meitanis got excactly what he needed on the 5♠ river and secured a full double up at Ihlamur's expense.

Oleg Netaliev opened under the gun to 35,000 before getting called by Giorgiy Skhulukhiya in middle position, by the cutoff, and by Rachid Yaacoubi in the big blind.
The 2♠6♥K♣ flop landed and action checked to Netaliev who continued for 35,000. Skhulukhiya called, the cutoff called, and then Yaacoubi check-raise jammed for 115,000.
Netaliev tanked for a minute and then called before Skhulukhiya also called and the cutoff folded.
The players were heads up to a 4♠ turn and Netaliev slowed down with a check. Skhulukhiya tanked and then put in a large bet of 215,000. Netaliev thought it over but eventually found a fold. The cards hit their backs and the cooler was real.
Rachid Yaacoubi: 2♣2♥
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: 6♠6♣
It was set over set for a massive cooler and Yaacoubi would only have one out going to the river. That card would not come as the dealer put the 8♦ out to finish the board. Yaacoubi hit the rail on the stone bubble after a brutal cooler.
