Petrushevskii Busts O'Neill and Blain
Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Ramin Hajiyev opened to 12,000 and short stack Padraig O'Neill pushed for 45,000. Sergei Petrushevskii reshoved all in from the cutoff and the action folded to Dermot Blain in the small blind, who called for his last 255,000. Blain almost turned over his cards, but Hajiyev said "wait, I am still in the hand. I am 99% sure it is a fold, but have to check again," then folded.
Padraig O'Neill: 
Dermot Blain: 
Sergei Petrushevskii: 
The flop fell 
improved Petrushevskii to a set, and the 
turn and 
river were both bricks to knock out two Irishman at once. Petrushevskii joined the big stacks as a result after starting Day 2 in the middle of the pack.
