Asmolov takes from Falcon; Burns Shoves Into Miyakita
On the turn of a board 
, Timofey Asmolov checked out of the big blind and Michael Falcon made it 3,500 to go from the button, which Asmolov called. Both checked the 
river and Falcon's 
ended up second best to the ace-seven of the Russian. "Straight draw," Asmolov shrugged after Falcon had sighed.
The next hand, a big pot was brewing between Kota Miyakita and Simon Burns in the big blind. The latter checked the 
flop and check-raised to 6,000 after a bet of 2,500 by Miyakita. Once the Japanese called, the 
came on the turn and Burns bet 9,000, Miyakita called.
The 
river completed the board and Burns immediately moved all in for effectively 33,500, as that's what Miyakita had left. It proved to be too much for the Japanese, and he folded to see Burns rake in a big pot without showdown.
