Baruch Fishman opened to 3,000,000 first-to-act with K10 and John Malczan called in the small blind with A5. In the big blind, Yuriy Kudrynskyy squeezed to 15,000,000 with AQ, getting two folds from his opponents.

Two hands later, Kudrynskyy open-jammed on the button with 66 for 22 big blinds effective, and both Fishman and William Shaw quickly got rid of their hands as Kudrynskyy extends

Level 35 : Blinds 500,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

Baruch Fishman opened to 3,500,000 on the button before William Shaw jammed for his final 13,500,000 from the small blind, and Fishman called after confirming the count.

William Shaw: QQ All in
Baruch Fishman: A6

Shaw was in good shape to double, but still had to fade the ace as the 1072 flop gave Shaw the only flush draw.

The 9 turn added a gutshot for Fishman, but the river was the 2, securing the double for Shaw.

Level 35 : Blinds 500,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

William Shaw opened to 3,000,000 from the button with Q9 and John Malczan called in the small blind with KJ.

On the J95 flop, Malczan checked to Shaw who bet 2,000,000. Malczan responded with a check-raise to 5,500,000, and Shaw immediately called.

Malczan led for 5,000,000 on the 3 turn and Shaw quickly called again.

On the 7 river, Malczan opted to check to Shaw who bet 5,000,000 into a pot of 30,000,000, and Malczan called.

Shaw tabled his nine, but it was no good against the top pair of Malczan who regained some momentum

Fishman Adds More

Level 35 : Blinds 500,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

John Malczan opened to 4,500,000 from the button with K2 and Baruch Fishman called in the big blind with 87.

On the 883 flop, Fishman checked to Malczan who fired out a bet of 6,500,000, and Fishman just called.

Fishman checked again on the 9 turn, and Malczan was content to do the same.

On the 6 river, Fishman led for 9,000,000, and Malczan opted to let it go after a minute's tank, and the two players switch positions on the leaderboard with Fishman into second for the first time all tournament.

Level 35 : Blinds 500,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante
John Wilson
John Wilson

John Wilson jammed for his remaining 14,000,000 stack under the gun and Baruch Fishman quickly called form the big blind as the covering stack.

John Wilson: AJ All in
Baruch Fishman: KK

Wilson ran into a premium but he still held one overcard as the 1075 flop offered no help to either player. The 3 turn and 7 river did not change anything, leaving Fishman's kings best to send Wilson to the rail.

John Malczan opened to 3,000,000 under the gun and was called by Yuriy Kudrynskyy in the cutoff, and William Shaw came along from the big blind with 22 after weighing all three options off 30 big blind.

On the AQ10 flop, Shaw checked to Malczan who put out a large bet of 8,500,000. Kudrynskyy took some time before he flatted, and Shaw got out of the way.

Shaw then slowed down with a check on the 8 turn, prompting Kudrynskyy to bet 7,500,000, and Shaw called.

On the 5 river, Shaw checked a final time to Kudrynskyy who bet 10,000,000, and Shaw quickly called.

Yuriy Kudrynskyy: Q10
John Malczan: AK

Kudrynskyy flopped two pair and Malczan could not get away from top-top as Kudrynskyy takes a commanding chip lead.
