Ivarsson Eliminated in Big Pot
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Alexander Ivarsson had called an earlier open when Iraklis Manikaros three-bet to 170,000 from the small blind. Ivarsson called in the hijack after the initial raiser folded.
Manikaros continued for 85,000 on the 9♣10♠10♦ flop. Ivarsson called to the 3♣ turn, where Manikaros sized up to 215,000.
After some thought, Ivarsson moved all in for 550,000. Manikaros snapped him off with the covering stack.
Alexander Ivarsson: 5♠5♦ 
Iraklis Manikaros: K♥K♦
Ivarsson's fives were in dire shape against the kings of Manikaros. The Q♠ river helped neither player, deciding the vital pot in Manikaros' favor.
