Russian Poker Pros Battle It Out at Bellagio Cup
The Bellagio Cup poker tournament began on July 15, 2009, with the 1B day starting at 3:30 AM MSK. The tournament had 267 participants, with 27 prizes to be won, and the winner would take home $1,187,760.
Lika Gerasimova had around 90,000 chips after two levels, playing a significant hand with Erik Panaoutou. Sergey Ryabchenko had around 12,000 chips, which was 1/5 of the starting stack, but he was satisfied as he had only 2,300 chips left before. Andrey Zaichenko had 75,000 chips, and he folded Qx Qx preflop against Darrell 'Gigabet' Dicken.
Eugene Kachalov, the last hope of the Russian-speaking audience in the main tournament of the World Series of Poker, exited the tournament in 39th place. Sergey Ryabchenko made a fantastic comeback, increasing his stack from 2,300 to 66,000 chips. Lika Gerasimova had around 115,000 chips, while Andrey Zaichenko had 119,000 chips.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
