WARM-UP ($565)

Ihor Yerofieiev shoved all-in from under the gun, and Khayal Abbasov called, setting up a showdown between the two players.

Ihor Yerofieiev: A♥ K♠

Khayal Abbasov: A♠ Q♦

The board ran out 7♠ 7♥ 2♥ A♣ 5♦, and while both players hit an ace, Yerofieiev’s kicker was the difference, giving him the win. He doubled up, leaving Abbasov in the danger zone with just over 4BBs remaining.

Ihor Yerofieiev opened under the gun to 5,000 and was called by Minh Truong Nguyen in late position and Yang Yang in the big blind.

The flop came 7♥ Q♠ 7♦. After a check from Yang, Yerofieiev shoved all-in and was called by Nguyen, putting Yerofieiev's tournament life at risk. Yang folded, and the two remaining players went to the showdown.

The runout came 3♣ T♦, and Yerofieiev revealed Q♣ Q♠ for a full house on the flop. Nguyen, unable to improve, mucked his hand as Yerofieiev scooped the pot.
