Russian Domination Continues
Thomas West raises to 60,000 from mid position, and Rybachenko calls from the button. They both check the flop, but Sergey likes the on the turn -- West checks to him and he bets 100,000. West calls. He also hesitantly calls Sergey's 250,000 bet on the river, and just mucks when Sergey turns over for two pair, reducing West to 570,000.
And a couple hands later, Rybachenko scores another victory. Strzemp makes it 70,000 from mid position and Rybachenko calls on the cutoff. Small blind Alexander Triner makes it another 110,000 and Strzemp folds, but Sergey reraises him all in. After some dwelling, Triner folds with a resigned sigh.
