Alexander Klimashin - 7th Place

Alexander Klimashin open-shoved from middle position for slightly under 300,000 chips. Christophe Benzimra was the last obstacle Klimashin needed to pass as he sat in the big blind. Benzimra wasn't going to let Klimashin off the hook as easily as the others did and made the call.

Klimashin held {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

against the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

of Benzimra and another flip would determine a tournament life.

The flop came down {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

. With Benzimra spiking the ace, Klimashin now stood from his seat knowing his chances grew slim.

The turn was the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

and did add some chop outs for Klimashin.

The river paired the board with the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

and that would be all she wrote for the former Renju champion, Klimashin. He finished in 7th place, earning 186,050 PLN.
