It is all going on here at Casino Sochi as the Main Event draws ever closer to the bubble.

Just now three players were in on the flop with {j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} down. The player in the small blind checked and Mark Zhang who was in early position did the same. Mikhail Aleksandrov bet 13,000 and Zhang and the small blind called. Back on Zhang and he raised it up to 45,000, which both of his opponents called.

The turn was an action-inducing {j-Spades} and it was checked to Aleksandrov who bet 66,000. This was enough to convince the small blind to fold but Zhang wasn't done and moved all in. It was a snap from Aleksandrov and no wonder as he had the nuts at that point.

Mikhail Aleksandrov: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Mark Zhang: {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Zhang needed a king to win or a ten to chop the pot but it wasn't to be, with the dealer laying down a {7-Hearts} on the river and Aleksandrov takes a huge pot.
