Vladimir Kochelaevskiy -- 16th Place

Vladimir Kochelaevskiy will probably be thinking about this day for a long time. After Michael Katz opened for 30,000, Kochelaevskiy re-raised to 80,000. Katz shipped in his whole stack of 361,000 and Kochelaevskiy snap-called with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Clubs}

. Katz said "Good hand," as he showed {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

, but it wasn't over yet.

The flop came {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

! Katz flopped the joint, then had to sweat two streets to see if the board would pair. It did not. Katz dragged the pot and left Kochelaevskiy with just 6,000 chips. Those chips went in on the next hand with a naked ace, but Jorg Peisert was dealt pocket queens. They held up to send Kochelaevskiy to the rail in 16th place.
