Jaroslaw Osinski limps the small blind and David Mzareulov raises to 350,000 in the big blind. Osinski calls.

On the Spade KClub 2Heart 2 flop, Osinski checks and faces a bet of 275,000 from Mzareulov. Osinski makes the call and then checks again on the Spade 10 turn.

Mzareulov continues to bet, this time sliding 700,000 forward. Osinski tosses the calling chips forward, leaving himself about 2,500,000 behind.

The river brings the Club 7 and Osinski moves all in. Mzareulov thinks briefly and then folds his hand.

“You want to see,” asks Osinski who then shows his Spade 2Diamond 2 for flopped quad deuces.

On the following hand, more woe would befall Mzareulov as after a raise to 250,000 by Jesse Lonis in middle position, Mzareulov moves all in from the small blind, covering Lonis’ 1,675,000 remaining.

Lonis makes the call and is at risk.

Jesse Lonis: Heart AHeart K
David Mzareulov: Club AHeart Q

The flop of Diamond 9Heart 9Spade 8 changes nothing, but the Club Q on the turn leaves Lonis a card away from elimination.

Instead, the Spade K on the river saves his bacon, bringing new life to the always dangerous Lonis.

Meanwhile, the back-to-back losses have left Mzareulov now on a short stack.

Jaroslaw Osinski – 5,600,000 (44 bb)
Jesse Lonis – 3,700,000 (29 bb)
David Mzareulov – 1,300,000 (10 bb)
