Oleksii Kovalchuk Eliminated in 6th Place (€8,220)
Level 20
Limit Hold'em
Action folded around to the blinds, where Oleksii Kovalchuk raised from the small blind and was three-bet by Wooram Cho in the big blind. Kovalchuk made it four bets to go and Cho raised once more to put Kovalchuk all in. Kovalchuck called to put himself at risk and showdown was held.
Oleksii Kovalchuk: A♥A♣
Wooram Cho: A♠Q♠
It was the best possible situation for Kovalchuk with aces, but the 8♦10♠K♣ flop gave Cho outs to Broadway.
The 7♥ turn was safe for Kovalchuck, but the J♥ river filled Cho's straight and Kovalchuk was eliminated in sixth place in brutal fashion.
