Goryachev Eliminated

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Vyacheslav Goryachev
Vyacheslav Goryachev

Lidiya Kozenkova raised the button and folded pocket sevens face up when Aleksandr Sokolov and Vyacheslav Goryachev in the big blind both moved all in.

Aleksandr Sokolov: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Vyacheslav Goryachev: {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

The {j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop was great for Sokolov as he needed to avoid running jacks or aces only. Neither the {10-Hearts} turn nor the {9-Hearts} river brought a miracle, Kozenkova would have made a straight though.

Goryachev had some four big blinds left after the hand and busted moments later.
