Level 26
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Andrey Pateychuk opened to 800,000 from early position. Roman Novoselov three-bet to 2,750,000 and Pateychuk moved all in for about 15,000,000. Novoselov, who was slightly covered, made the call.
Roman Novoselov: 9♥9♦ 
Andrey Pateychuk: J♠J♣
Pateychuk had the best of it with the higher pocket pair and remained ahead on the 7♣6♠5♠ flop. Novoselov took the lead after spiking a set on the 9♣ turn in a dramatic turn of events the J♥ river gave Pateychuk a bigger straight to take down the gargantuan pot while Novoselov, who enjoyed the chip lead for most of the day today, was sent to the rail in 21st place.
