Lavrov Fights Back

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Vasiliy Tsapko successfully three-bet the first hand after dinner and then raised to 600,000 out of the small blind with the {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} to claim the big blind and big blind ante.

Tsapko continued with aggression by opening to 405,000 with {a-Spades}{2-Hearts} on the button and collected another pot without resistance.

Lavrov then raised the button to 400,000 with {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Leonid Semenyuk jammed out of the big blind with the {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} to scoop the pot.

Tsapko opened to 400,000 with {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Maksym Lavrov all but jammed with {a-Spades}{2-Spades} when he clicked it back to 2,300,000 in order to regain some chips.

Lavrov Doubles Through Lichagin

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

The third all-in showdown in consecutive hands brought an open shove of Konstantin Lichagin from the small blind and Maksym Lavrov called for 1.9 million in the big blind.

Maksym Lavrov: {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Konstantin Lichagin: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Both hit a pair on the {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop, and the {6-Spades} turn was a great card for Lavrov as jacks were no good anymore. Indeed the {j-Clubs} river was not enough to send Lavrov to the rail and the chip stacks were reversed.
