In hand number six,  Almira Shripchenko doubles through Dinara Khaziyeva.  Dinara's KcTc dominated Almira's Td9D on a Ks Th 9h flop.  The turn is a 9s giving Amira a boat and the river is a meaningless 7d.

 Updated chip count:

Seat 1.  Dinara Khaziyeva  -  90,000
Seat 2.  Damon Schramm  -  775,000
Seat 3.  George Rechnitzer  -  660,000
Seat 4.  Dan Heimiller  -  670,000
Seat 5.  Davidi Kitai  -  885,000
Seat 6.  Almira Skripchenko  -  1,370,000


The turn card is -- the 9spade! Skripchenko takes the lead with a full house, nines full of tens, and Khaziyeva needs a king on the river.

The river card is the 7diamond, and Almira Skripchenko wins the pot with a full house to double up in chips. Seat 1.  Dinara Khaziyeva  -  90,000
Seat 2.  Damon Schramm  -  775,000
Seat 3.  George Rechnitzer  -  660,000
Seat 4.  Dan Heimiller  -  670,000
Seat 5.  Davidi Kitai  -  885,000
Seat 6.  Almira Skripchenko  -  1,370,000
