Teodor Evstratiev Eliminated in 12th Place (£5,740)

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Teodor Evstratiev
Teodor Evstratiev

Teodor Evstratiev moved all in for 1,200,000 from under the gun and Carl Shaw had him at risk from the small blind.

Teodor Evstratiev: AK
Carl Shaw: QQ

It was a classic flip with nearly 2,500,000 at stake, and Evstratiev saw the K fall in the window. But it was followed by Q5 as Shaw made a set.

"King for a sweat," a tablemate said, but the turn came the 8 and Evstratiev was already drawing dead headed to the 4 river.

"Twenty percent freeroll," Shaw said as he got up to shake Evstratiev's hand before Evstratiev went off to collect his payout.
