Aliaksei Boika got his stack of 50,900 all in preflop and was at risk against Sergi Reixach, who had jumped into action right after dinner.

It was a flip, and Boika held on both the flop and turn. However, you've seen the title of this post so you know something's coming... the on the river!
Boika busted on the hand while Reixach got off to a hot start by doubling his starting stack.
Andy Philachack was all-in and marginally ahead of Christoph Vogelsand in terms of chips, with 20,000 to Vogelsang's 17,200. A battle of the micro-stacks then, but Vogelsang held pocket aces, way ahead of Philachack's . They stayed ahead across the and Vogelsang doubled up.
Philachack went out in the next hand when his 2,700 pile was called three-ways, Fabrizio Gonzalez eventually betting the turn on a board and getting the others to fold. His rode the brick river home and dry against a crestfallen Philachack's .
Mustapha Kanit (pictured) wears a smile as wide as the River Po at the worst of times, and the Italian is smiling with more energy than a minute ago after doubling up in the $25,000 High Roller here at the PokerStars Championship Bahamas.
Kanit was all-in on the flop and held . He needed help against Mark Radoja's but duly got it on the turn and after the river leapt up and yelled 'Yes!' The thing is, that can easily sound rude when read in black and white, but Kanit does it all with such a naturally self-effacing quality that, honestly, every other player in the room, even his rivals, seem to love him. The golden smile was flashed once more and he stacked up 80,000, still considerably less than Radoja was left with, but plenty.
Richard Seymour, pictured earlier on in the week here at PokerStars Championship Bahamas.
Jonathan Jaffe and three-time Superbowl champion Richard Seymour clashed yet again in what has become a familiar battle. Seymour opened to 2,700 and Jaffe three-bet to 9,000. Seymour called, and on the flop of , checked. The turn of had the same reaction, and both checked the river too. Seymour's were good enough.
Elsewhere, Phil Laak (50,000) is driving onward, Stephen Chidwick (145,000) is thriving too, but PokerStars Team Pro Jake Cody is only surviving, down to 18,700. Can the ever-popular British triple crown winner bounce back into contention?
Liv Boeree was the aggressor on a flop of as she bet 4,000 into a pot of 17,200. David Peters, confirmed today as the current Global Poker Index number one, called to a turn of . Boeree bet 12,000 and stared down Peters, who called.
The river was the and both Peters and Boeree checked, and it turned out to be a good check behind with Pters holding for the second nut flush. Boeree turned over .
"You run good!" Igor Kurganov said as he passed the table.
We missed the specifics, but we do know that Kevin Eyster, who was short stacked, check-raised all in on an flop and was called by Vladimir Troyanovskiy.
