Ilikyan Eliminates Kudrjavcevs

[user38449]

Russian Valeriy Ilikyan has just eliminated Eduards Kudrjavcevs of Latvia from the tournament, by way of nut flush over top pair. Eduards opened with a 20,000 bet on a {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

flop and Valeriy made the call. The turn brought the {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

and Kudrjavcevs open-shoved for approximately 35,000. Valeriy then stood up out of his chair and made the call, slamming the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

face up on the table, all the while spouting off in Russian what appeared to be a shameless critique of Eduards' play. The silent Latvian tabled {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{10-Spades}

during Ilikyan's tirade.

The river, though meaningless, was the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

, and Valeriy raked in the pot, bringing his chip stack up to ~170,000.
