Ivanov, Davenport Double
Mustafa Ercan raised to 40,000 under the gun before Aleksandr Ivanov moved all in for 125,000 in the small blind. Damir Gabdullin then reshoved in the big blind, sending Ercan deep into the tank. He thought about the decision for nearly five minutes until folded.
Aleksandr Ivanov: A♥J♥ 
Damir Gabdullin: A♣5♠
Ercan took his cards and slammed them down on the table upon seeing Gabdullin's cards. Ivanov turned away from the table and relied on his son, who came over from another table to watch, to relay the board to him.
The board came 10♣8♠6♣Q♣9♠ and Ivanov took the pot to survive near the bubble.
At the same time on another table, Matthew Davenport was all in for 240,000 from the small blind and up against Jovan Kenjic in early position.
Matthew Davenport: A♣K♠
Jovan Kenjic: J♣J♥
Davenport hit top pair on the 6♦5♣A♦ flop and stayed in front through the 8♣ turn and 3♣ river to secure a double up.
