Waldemar Kopyl Eliminated in 17th Place (€9,600)

Shamus

Waldemar Kopyl - 17th Place

We caught up to this one on the turn, with the board showing {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

{7-Hearts}

{A-Diamonds}

and already approximately a quarter million chips in the middle. Waldemar Kopyl checked, and Vadim Markushevski bet 100,000. Kopyl then announced he was all in, and Markushevski instantly called.

Markushevski turned over {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

for the nut straight. Then Kopyl revealed he'd picked a bad spot to bluff, turning over {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

. No card could save Kopyl, making the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

on the river just a bit of trivia.

Kopyl is out, and Markushevski catapults to 1.65 million -- our likely leader at the moment.
