Andrey Zaichenko Eliminated in 17th Place ($26,824)

Shamus

Andrey Zaichenko had a wild, up-and-down last half-hour tonight. He was crippled down to 80,000 in a huge hand versus Matt Waxman, then doubled up a couple of times, then was at 290,000 when the following hand took place.

Zaichenko opened with a standard-sized raise from under the gun, Rory Mathews reraised to 60,000 from the cutoff, it folded back around and Zaichenko shoved all in, and Mathews called.

Zaichenko tabled {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

and Mathews {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

. The board went {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{6-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

, and Zaichenko's roller-coaster ride finally came to an end.
