Istomin Busts Speranza; MacIntyre Takes from Huntly
Level 9
: 1,600/3,200, 400 ante
Aleksei Istomin raised to 6,500 and called the shove of Simone Speranza for 38,900.
Aleksei Istomin: 
Simone Speranza: 
The board ran out 
and Istomin turned the nut straight to bust Speranza.
In the last hand of the level, Gordon Huntly and Fraser MacIntyre saw the 
turn and Huntly bet 21,000 in the small blind. MacIntyre called from early position and did so again for 35,000 on the 
river. Huntly showed 
for top two, but MacIntyre had that beat with 
for a turned set.
"That's not good for the Scottish relationship," MacIntyre joked to his fellow countryman.
