Jabrayilov Azad opened to 2,000 from under the gun and received a call from a player in the cutoff and Denis Udalsov in the big blind.
All three players checked the Q?8?4? flop leading to the 6? turn. Udalsov checked, Azad fired a 3,000 continuation bet, the cutoff called and Udalsov check-raised to 18,000. Azad called while the cutoff got out of the way.
On the J? river Udalsov bet 36,000 and this time it was enough to force a fold from Azad.

With three players seeing a board of 10?9?8? and 12,500 in the middle, Konstantin Kvon checked in the big blind and Fernando Celdran bet 2,500 from the hijack. A player on the button called and Kvon called as well.
All three players then checked the Q? turn and 7? river. Kvon tabled 8?2? for a pair of eights while Celdran showed down A?Q? for top pair to take the pot.
