Can't Blame a Man for Triner

[user46392]
[user46392]
Continuing his aggressive rampage, Rybachenko raised under the gun, and got two callers in the shape of Alexander Triner two seats to his left and John Strzemp in the small blind.

Strzemp checked the {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} {5-Diamonds} flop to Rybachenko, who promptly bet out 135,000. Triner called and Strzemp conceded. On the {4-Spades} turn, Sergey bet a whopping 275,000, to which Triner responded by raising all in for another 400,000 or so. Rybachenko sniffed, and stared down at the board. Triner put his face in his hands and tried to stay very still. Rybachenko counted out the chips, and called.

Rybachenko: {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds}
Triner: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}

River: {9-Spades}

Triner doubles up to around 1.15 million.

Casey Coleman Elliminated in Tenth Place ($7,507)

A bad Casey of the Blues

The hand prior, Mike Schwartz limps, only to fold to an 82,000 preflop raise from Jason Young. As the next hand is being dealt out, he sends a friendly "don't do that next time..." warning to Young, who doesn't appear too troubled by the message.

Anyhow, the very next hand, Mike Schwartz giggles and takes the lead with a 60,000 preflop raise, adding "this is a test for you." "What, just me, no one else?" replies Young, chuckling.

Young may have stepped out of the way, but short-stacker Casey Coleman doesn't, calling the 60,000 and leaving himself just 3,000 in chips.

"Be careful," advises Coleman holding up his remaining stack between his two fingers.

"I'm very careful," claims Schwartz. "Tell them."

The next seat down, Matt Giannetti, makes the call and we see a three-way {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop. With Schwartz betting out, Coleman calling all in and Giannetti folding, its on their backs time with Schwartz's {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} in the lead against Coleman's {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

The {J-Hearts} turn and {10-Hearts} river are of no use and Coleman is out, still evidently dazed by his mammoth pot with Rybachenko as he departs the table.

Sergey Surge

[user4144]
[user4144]
Sergey Rybachenko is playing multiple pots with his newly acquired stack, first taking the blinds with a 55,000 preflop raise.

On the next hand, he limped, checked a {9-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop, smooth-called small-blinder Matt Giannetti's 50,000 bet on the {3-Spades} turn and took it down with a 75,000 bet on the {4-Hearts} river after his opponent had conceded with a check.

The Russian now approaching the two million mark.

Russian Domination Continues

More chips for Rybachenko.

Thomas West raises to 60,000 from mid position, and Rybachenko calls from the button. They both check the {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} flop, but Sergey likes the {4-Clubs} on the turn -- West checks to him and he bets 100,000. West calls. He also hesitantly calls Sergey's 250,000 bet on the river, and just mucks when Sergey turns over {6-Spades} {4-Spades} for two pair, reducing West to 570,000.

And a couple hands later, Rybachenko scores another victory. Strzemp makes it 70,000 from mid position and Rybachenko calls on the cutoff. Small blind Alexander Triner makes it another 110,000 and Strzemp folds, but Sergey reraises him all in. After some dwelling, Triner folds with a resigned sigh.

From Russia with Love

[user4144]
[user4144]
A big pot amasses as Sergey Rybachenko raises to 55,000 (his standard raise for this round), Casey Coleman reraises to 170,000 and Rybachenko swiftly calls.

As the dealer pops out a {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}{K-Spades} flop onto the felt, Rybachenko quickly checks, only for Coleman to bet 250,000. Just as briskly as he'd checked, Rybachenko makes the call.

On the {5-Hearts} turn, Rybachenko again checks into the aggressor, and although riffling through his chips as if contemplating a bet, Coleman checks behind.

A {7-Diamonds} river triggers a bet of 375,000 from the Russian, which is verbally called by Coleman, who flips over {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. Sadly for him, Rybachenko shows {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for the rivered straight to scoop an absolute monstrosity of a pot.

As a result, Coleman's stack is decimated to the lowly sum of 115,000 whilst Rybachenko leaps up to the 1,800,000 mark.

Two Small Pots

[user4144]
[user4144]
After Mike Schwartz snapped up the blinds with a 71,000 preflop raise, it was Sergey Rybachenko's turn to attack, this time raising to 55,000. Jason Young called a couple of seats down and the two players saw a {5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop. The flop, as well as the {6-Hearts} turn and {Q-Hearts} river, was checked down, only for Young to take it down with {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} versus {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}.

Timing Improving

Casey Coleman scraped back a few of those chips the next hand, though, betting every street of the {6-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {A-Spades} board from the button until Matthew Giannetti folded to a 180,000 bet on the river.

A Case of Bad Timing

[user46392]
[user46392]
Some mistimed early aggression from Casey Coleman failed to pay off for him.

John Strzemp minimum-raised to 20,000 in mid-position, and both Coleman in the small blind and Matthew Giannetti in the big blind called. They checked to Strzemp, who bet 40,000 on the {7-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {4-Clubs} flop. Coleman called, and Giannetti raised to 160,000. Strzemp gave up on it and folded. After some deliberation, Coleman called. Coleman and Giannetti both checked the {10-Diamonds} turn, and then Coleman bet out a massive 280,000 on the {4-Hearts} river. After dwelling up for an age, Giannetti called with {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} -- Coleman just mucked, and was down to around 500,000, while Gianetti leapt to 1.5 million.

One Miiiiiiiiiillion Dollars

It has come to our attention that instead of carrying over the chips won from previous rounds (which would total 300,000 each), the players have started today's final with a cool 1,000,000. Don't get excited though, it's not real money, I was just doing my Dr Evil impersonation.
