Brechalov and Udalov Start Well

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

In a battle of Yuriy's, Yuriy Pantyukhov got the best of Yuriy Brechalov when he called a bet of 1,000 on the {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{a-Spades} turn and Brechalov check-folded the {3-Diamonds} river to a bet of 3,000. Despite losing that small pot, it is Brechalov that has started well.

Stepan Udalov joined the early big stacks after taking a decent pot off Hristo Dechev. Pavel Kovalenko had raised and Dechev called from the small blind, both then called a three-bet to 3,000 by Udalov. Only Dechev check-called bets of Udalov on the {j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop and the {6-Clubs} turn, the latter for 12,000, before both checked the {10-Spades} on the river.

Dechev tabled pocket eights and Udalov had that beat with pocket aces.
