Russia vs. Australia

Brendon Rubie raised to 21,000 from under the gun plus one and cleared the field all the way around to Joseph Cheong, who made the call from the small blind. Alexander Kravchenko then moved all in from the big blind for 280,000, Rubie moved all in over the top, and Cheong got out of the way.

Showdown
Kravchenko: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Rubie: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

The young Australian was ahead when the chips went in, but the {K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop paired the Russian and gave him the lead. The {A-Diamonds} turn gave Kravchenko two pair, while the {A-Hearts} river made it a boat.
