Solovjev Scores Double Elimination
Level 14
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Snorre Sund, Paul Solovjev, and Felipe Barrios had gotten all their chips in the middle. Solovjev had 83,000, which covered Barrios' 80,000 and the 42,000 of Sund.
Snorre Sund: A♠K♣ 
Felipe Barrios: 4♠4♣
Paul Solovjev: Q♥Q♣
The J♣9♠8♠ flop added a gutshot to Solovjev's arsenal, and he made a set on the Q♦ turn, leaving Barrios drawing dead. Sund needed a ten to stay alive, but the 6♥ river did not bring one, seeing him eliminated from the Main Event as well.
