Tsoukernik Busts Kakhmazov, Takes Huge Lead
Nadar Kakhmazov opened to 4,450 and got calls from Leon Tsoukernik, a player in early position, and Max Silver.
The flop was and Tsoukernik led, betting pot. The bet was 19,200 and Silver called. Kakhmazov three-bet pot, which put him all in for about 97,000.
Tsoukernik four-bet jammed all in and Silver leaned back, saying, "I might need a while guys."
A crowd began to gather as Silver examined Tsoukernik's stack, realizing he was covered. "I'm the chipleader, so it doesn't matter what happens. I'm still in," Tsoukernik told the crowd that had gathered around the table.
After a few moments, Silver folded.

Tsoukernik was in the lead and held through the turn and river — — improving to a straight and sending Kakhmazov to the rail moments after he took his seat.
