Championship Warm Up ($600)

Italy’s Michael Falcon raises it to 1,600 from utg and when the action gets folded to the hijack of Yakiv Syzghanov, the Ukrainian greets him with a 3-bet to 4,600. Falcon then 4-bets to 13,500 to which Syzghanov opts to just call.

The flop is 9♥ 7♥ 5♦ . Falcon’s next move is to shove and it becomes uncallable for Syzghanov who just folds and is only left with less than 10,000.

After the turn card had already been dealt on a board of 8♦ 5♦ Q♣ A♠ as Yakiv Syzghanov of the Ukraine checks from the sb. Englishman James Rann bets 4,000 from the cutoff and gets called. The river card is the 2♦ and this time both players check.

Syzghanov tables K♣ 8♣ for middle pair on the flop. Rann mucks.

After a UTG limper came in, Yakiv Syzganov of the Ukraine raises it from the +1 to 1,000 and gets re-raised in the HJ by Daniel Solberg Skoglund of Sweden to 3,000. The original limper folds and Syzganov makes the call.

The flop comes J♥ 6♠ 5♠ A♠ the Ukrainian checks. Skoglund bets 2,500 and is enough to take it down.
