Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Espen Solaas opened to 15,000 from the button and both Raj Ramakrishnan (small blind) and Dzmitry Urbanovich (big blind) made the call to take play three-way to a monochrome 
flop.
All three players checked and the dealer burned and turned the 
. First to act Ramakakrishnan led out for 45,000 and while Urbanovich got out of the way Solaas was going nowhere and made the call.
The 
river brought checks from both players and Ramakrishnan showed down 
but mucked the rest of his hand when Solaas rolled over 
for a higher flush to take the pot.

Level 15
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
First to act Dzmitry Urbanovich accidently exposed his hand as he folded showing 
. Action folded around to Espen Solaas on the button who did not look too happy about this but chose to open the action with a raise to 21,000 with Belgium's Jonathan Abdellatif (big blind) the only caller.
The dealer spread a flop of and, first to act, Abdellatif led out for a pot sized bet of 45,000. Solaas quickly re-potted to put Abdellatif all-in and the Belgium player called off the rest of his stack for his tournament life.
Jonathan Abdellatif: 
Espen Solaas: 
Abdellatif had flopped middle set and was leading Solaas' aces, and it is easy to see why the Norwegian player was unhappy that Urbanovich had folded three hearts.
"This is my best chance for a double I think," said Abdalletif.
However, the poker gods has other ideas and while the 
turn kept the Belgium in front, the 
river saw Solaas spike a bigger set to send Abdellatif crashing out of the tournament.

Level 14
: 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
While he still has a huge stack Dzmitry Urbanovich has taken a couple of hits this level with the latest one coming at the hands of Raj Ramakrishnan.
Preflop it was Ramakrishnan who was the aggressor, opening to 17,500 from the button with Urbanovich making the call from the big blind.
Both players checked the flop before Urbanovich chose to lead out for 18,500 on the 
turn, with Ramakrishnan calling quickly, leaving himself around 65k behind.
Urbanovich checked the river over to Ramakrishnan who moved all-in, which was enough to get Urbanovivh to give it up.
