WPT Cambodia Championship ($3,500)

"Just stop leave something for everyone else please," John Perry jokes as the red hot run of Shalom Elharar continues. From being a short stack an hour ago, he doubled once and then knocks out two players. Latest casualty is Yakiv Syzghanov in spectacular fashion when two pocket pairs clash.

Syzghanov's T♣ T♥ are behind versus K♣ K♠ and it remains that way despite hitting a set on the K♦ T♠ 8♦ 9♦ J♦ runout.

Sungmin Cho opens to 8,000 and Yakiv Syzghanov calls in the cutoff. James Rann three-bets to 28,000 and Cho folds, while Syzghanov calls. On the A♠ 8♣ 7♥ flop, Syzghanov checks and Rann continues for 18,000. The check-raise to 42,000 follows and that ends the hand right there.

On the river of a heads-up pot with the board showing A♣ K♥ 2♦ Q♣ T♣ , Eric Wasylenko in the small blind bets 8,000 into around 30,000. Yakiv Syzghanov calls but mucks when Wasylenko shows K♦ Q♥ for two pair.

Thomas Eychenne raises under the gun to 5,500, Hugo Bohn Machado calls from middle position, Yakiv Syzghanov calls from the cutoff, and Xuan Liu calls from the big blind.

All four players check to the turn on a board of T♣ 6♦ 4♦ 4♥ , and it checks to Syzghanov, who bets 9,500. Liu folds, Eychenne calls, and Machado folds.

The river card double-pairs the board with the T♠ , Eychenne bets 32,000, and Syzghanov quickly calls. Eychenne shows T♦ 8♦ to win the pot with a full house, tens full of fours, and Syzghanov mucks.

A scan of the field during the break turned up nine players with at least 250,000 in chips, plus one more knocking on the door to create an unofficial leaderboard:

Following a limp and a raise by Yakiv Syzghanov, Motoyoshi Okamura pushes all-in for57,000 and the limper folds. Syzghanov calls and the cards are tabled.

Motoyoshi Okamura: K♥ T♥

Yakiv Syzghanov: A♣ T♣

The kicker plays on the T♠ 7♠ 2♥ 2♦ 6♦ board to send Okamura to the rail just before the end of the late registration period.

Two players call Brian Green's 2600 raise then they see a flop land 5♠ 6♥ 2♥ . From the big blind, Yakiv Syzghanov bets 3300, Green folds, small blind Hugo Machado check-calls. The turn J♣ sees a larger bet of 18,000 from Syzghanov which is enough to for Machado to choose to fold.

From under the gun, Yakiv Syzghanov opens 2500 and finds three callers to the flop T♦ T♠ 5♣ . Syzghanov continues for 3500, Motoyoshi Okamura and small blind Raffaele Sorrentino call, then the turn 4♠ is checked by all. On the river 4♥ , Sorrentino leads out 10,500 and wins the pot with no callers.

Sorrentino is dragging in the chips, Syzghanov ask what he had, Sorrentino says "Ten-Ten", this gets a laugh from Syzghanov who asks again a few minutes later and Sorrentino laughs while giving the same answer.
