Vladimir Schmelev Eliminated in 2nd Place ($963,375); Michael Mizrachi Wins!

Vladimir Schmelev, 2nd place
Vladimir Schmelev, 2nd place

Hand #235:

Michael Mizrachi moves all in from the button and this time Vladimir Schmelev makes the call.

Mizrachi: {Q-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Schmelev: {Q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The crowd is chanting for a five, but there is nothing on the {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop.

However their faith is rewarded on the turn and a huge roar erupts as the {5-Hearts} falls! Schmelev is left needing a seven or eight to survive but it isn't to be as the {4-Diamonds} hits the river and Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi is our champion!

Congratulations to Vladimir Schmelev who put in a tremendous tournament and solid final table to just fall short at the final hurdle. He'll take home $963,375 for an amazing tournament.
