Yury Zinkevich Eliminated in 13th Place (A$54,720)
Level 15
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Kitty Kuo opened to 18,000 first to act and Yury Zinkevich moved all in for 81,000 on the button. Brian Yoon in the big blind called and Kuo asked for Yoon's stack size before electing to reraise, making it 210,000 to go. That was enough to force out Yoon and the cards were tabled.
Yury Zinkevich: 
Kitty Kuo: 
The classic coin flip all but lost the entire excitement for Zinkevich when the flop fell , as the Belorussian needed running aces or kings to remain in contention. It was all over on the 
turn, and the meaningless 
river was a mere formality. Zinkevich takes home A$54,720 for his efforts and the remaining 12 players will be balanced to two tables shortly.
