On the next hand, Buldygin opened to 2,800 from early position, Piqué called from the cutoff seat, and Sergey Sergeev called from the big blind. The three players saw the flop come down

The turn was the 
, and all three players checked to see the 
pair the board on the river. Sergeev led with a bet of 7,000, and Buldygin folded right away. Piqué mulled it over for a minute or so, but folded in the end, and Sergeev won this pot.
