Level 28
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Alexey Rybin raised to 125,000 preflop with 
, Andrei Nikonov three-bet to 350,000 holding 
and Rybin moved all in. Nikonov quickly called.
The flop came 
which helped neither player, the 
turn didn't offer anything else and the 
river meant that Nikonov was out in third place.
Rybin's rehabilitation is complete, his stack dropped like a stone earlier today but the momentum in the last twenty minutes has all been his and he's now heads up for the title in the position he knows the best, the chip leader.
