Nikolay Evdakov and Vladimir Schmelev are ruling Orange 336 with an iron fist right now. Schmelev just tagged Joe Cassidy in a big pot, getting two bets in on sixth street and on seventh street. Cassidy's aces and fives were no good against Schmelev's three nines.
A few hands later, Todd Barlow went all the way with (X) (X) / 
/ (X) against Evdakov's (X) (X) / 
/ (X). Facing a bet at the river, Barlow sighed and said, "Alright you got it. I had diamonds and had to go all the way." He mucked.
Barlow is the shortest stack now with 45,000. Schmelev is first to a million, with 1,040,000. And Evdakov has chipped all the way up to 870,000.
