Sarkisyan Triples Up, Lakhov Eliminated
David Leatherman raised to 600 from under the gun and Karen Sarkisyan shoved for 6,575 from mid-position. Alexander Lakhov was up next to act in late position and put in some yellow 1,000-value chips. It was unclear if this was a call or a raise as there was some discussion if Lakhov put in 8,000 or 10,000 as there was some back and forth of chips going into the bet or back into his stack. The dealer ruled that it was a call. Leatherman tanked for a bit, cut out calling chips and looked at the remainder of his own stack. Leatherman then made the call.
Karen Sarkisyan: 
Alexander Lakhov: 
David Leatherman: 
Leatherman and Lakhov were playing for the side pot of 8,200 and Sarkisyan was looking good for the triple-up.
The board ran out 
for Sarkisyan to hold to triple up and for Leatherman to win the side pot, eliminating Lakhov in the process.
