It's Russia vs. Russia over on Table 292.
We mentioned that Mikhail Smirnov took the full 600,000 chips to start the match, but Nikolay Evdakov is chipping away at that tower. He has 152,400 chips left when he got his money in with 
. We'll be honest and say we were too late to catch Smirnov's hand, because it was quickly mucked after the 
board. Whatever Smirnov had, Evdakov could beat it, and he's worked his 200,000 chips into 304,800 now.
We picked up the action on the turn as the board showed 
. Kunimaro Kojo checked, and David Paredes put out a bet of 18,000 into a pot of about that much. Kojo snuck in a check-raise to 55,000, and Paredes eventually made the call to see the last card.
It was the 
, and Kojo stacked up 120,000 chips and slid them forward. That sent Paredes' cards into the muck rather quickly, and he's down to about 125,000 from his first bullet.
Anthony Guetti and Richard Lyndaker have both taken their full 600,000 chips up front. Only one other player took all three bullets at once, and that was Mikhail Smirnov.
Jonathan Jaffe and Jake Cody both started with just the initial 200,000, but we just recently saw both men cash in one of their lammers for another stack to bring the match to 400,000 apiece.
Other than that, the only real news is that there's a pretty sizable rail assembled in front of the Dwan/Hansen match.
After the players saw a flop of 
, Jonathan Jaffe bet 17,000 and Jake Cody bumped it up to 35,000. Jaffe made the call and the two both checked when the turn came 
. The dealer revealed the 
on the river and Cody bet 37,300 chips. After a brief pause, Jaffe declared himself all-in only to see Cody insta-call. Jaffe looked glum as he said, "just a jack," and Cody turned over his 
to capture his opponent's opening stack of 200,000.
Livello: 1
Bui: 1,200/2,400
