Tough Times for Evdakov

If there's one thing that Nikolay Evdakov demonstrated during the 2008 WSOP, it was survival skill. He's going to need to draw on all of that skill after losing a big pot to Carlos Mortensen. Mortensen was all in before the draw, with Evdakov having him covered. Each player drew one card. After the draw, Mortensen showed 6-5-3-2-x, pulling an 8 as his draw card for 8-6. Evdakov showed a slightly better hand 6-4-3-2-x, but pulled a king.

Evdakov is now down to 9,500. Mortensen is back up to the starting stack of 30,000.
