Stepan Khachaturyan raised to 18,000 from the cutoff, and was called by Dan Olsen from the button and Michael Capener from the big blind.

The flop was checked to Olsen, who fired out a 36,000 bet. Capener then tossed out his last 14,000, and Khachaturyan came along as well.

Once the hit the turn, both Stepan Khachaturyan and Olsen checked, bringing the river.

With a straight on the board, Khachaturyan checked once again to Olsen, who moved all-in.

Khachaturyan then decided to risk his 130,000 stack, and all three hands were tabled.

Michael Capener:
Stepan Khachaturyan:
Dan Olsen:

It was an unfortunate turn of events for Khachaturyan, as both Olsen and Capener held the nine-high staright, ending his night on the bubble.

Dan Olsen - 415,000
Michael Capener - 54,000
Stepan Khachaturyan - 0
