Fighting in the main event was of an unusually dense, hard, even the "tough" character. Suffice it to say that the first day of competition has left less than half the participants - in stark contrast to the main events in Kiev, and Tallinn. The second day was a game has not changed. In addition, participants played only six levels. The whole "guilt" so-called "Beer Party" at the hotel pool, which heartily rejoice, players, journalists and organizers.

Thus, the third day, which was originally scheduled for the final table, the tournament still had 38 players. Fortunately, at this point participants sharply accelerated and the fourth day is not needed. It is known that forecasts of the result of a poker tournament - a thankless job. Main event of the Yalta segment was an exception to this rule.

After the second day most of the audience and journalists predicted the final duel Cyril Telezhkin (Crazy Raccoon) - Denis Pestretzoff (PODOX). These players have shown the most dramatic, informative and powerful poker. It is interesting that opponents to this are not personally familiar, a friend introduced during the tournament, as the future finalists. These players have met in a heads-ane Main Event!

The very same final match turned out not too spectacular - Kirill Telezhkin to this point was a huge advantage in the number of chips. Be stacks comparable, we probably would have seen a very interesting heads-up, but not this time. PODOX did everything he could and even managed to win back a few hundred chips, but resist the inevitable was beyond his power. Another all-in with a good hand Pestretzoff 7-7 was zakollirovan Telezhkin, who turned KJ. The dealer put on the table 8-10-Q-4 and 9!
