The flop came down J T 4 giving Per a glimmer of hope. However the turn sealed his fate when it came down Q giving Sergey the nut straight. The river was the 3 and Sergey took down the pot.
Sergey is now expanding his chip lead and holds over $110,000.

On a flop of Q 4 5 Per Strom moved all-in and was called by Stan Fulton. Both players held sets with Per showing 5 5 and Stan holding Q Q. Per was in rough shape and besides the hope of a chop when the turn came a T he fell short when the 2 hit the river.
Stan doubled up to $50,000 and Per was knocked down to $5,000.
On the very next hand Per was able to triple up and get his stack out of critical condition.
On the second hand of play we already have out first elimination of the day.
Three players saw a flop of K Q T. William Sheffrey bet out $3,600 and Jeff Rothstein moved all-in. Sergey Feklisov thought for a minute and decided to make the call. Action went back around to William who folded. Jeff flipped up K 9 for top pair, but was far behind the flopped nut flush of Sergey who held A J. The turn brought the 4 and the river was the J.
