David Coleman raised to 22,000 from UTG/hijack, Anton Wigg called in the cutoff, and Viktor Ustimov called in the big blind.

The flop was Jh8d7s, Ustimov checked, and Coleman checked. Wigg bet 17,000, Ustimov called, Coleman raised all in for about 160,000, Wigg folded, and Ustimov called with 8c8h for a set of eights. Coleman trailed with AhJd for a pair of jacks.

The 4c turn and Qs river completed the board, no help to Coleman, locking up the pot for Ustimov.

Viktor Ustimov  –  570,000  (57 bb)
David Coleman  –  Eliminated 

The players have combined to one table and are now on the money bubble.
