Mikhail Semin was the bring in and one player called before Norman Chad completed. Tim Burt called as did Semin and the other player as well.
On fourth, Chad bet again. This time only Semin called.
"Just me and the Russian?" Chad asked.
Chad checked on fifth and Semin checked as well.
"Just in case," Semin said.
On sixth, Chad checked. Semin put out a bet and Chad called. Then on seventh, both players checked. Chad showed his 
for a pair of eights, and it was good enough to best Semin who only flashed his 
before mucking his hand. Chad took down pot and built his stack back over the starting point.
