Off to the Races for Tikhonov's Tournament Life
Sergey Tikhonov moved all in preflop for his last 135,000 and was called by Fernando Brito.
Showdown
Tikhonov: 
Brito: 
Tikhonov was at risk and essentially flipping for his life. He was looking for some help, and the 
flop delivered just that. Suddenly Tikhonov was out in the lead with trips and looking to dodge either a ten or running straight cards. The 
changed nothing, and neither did the 
river.
Tikhonov doubled to 320,000 on the hand while Brito was left with just 97,000.
