Golubev Cracks Satybaldin's Aces
Gregory Telman opened from under the gun to 2,000 and Andrey Golubev made it 6,500. Nursiltan Satybaldin then four-bet shoved for around 47,000 out of the small blind, which got Telman to fold. Golubev thought for a while before he committed a portion of his stack to put Satybaldin at risk.
Nursiltan Satybaldin: A♦A♣ 
Andrey Golubev: Q♥Q♦
Satybaldin had a stack of almost 100,000 within touching distance but was made to sweat a little after the dealer put out a flop of 10♥9♣8♥, which improved Golubev to a gutshot and a backdoor flush draw. The dream card for Golubev arrived on the turn as the J♥ completed his straight, which left Satybaldin drawing to just a chop. The K♠ river wasn't what Satybaldin needed, which left him on the sidelines as Golubev climbed up the leaderboard.
