Dori Yacoub Eliminated in 20th Place ($5,000)

Tim Baker

Level 29 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

After just doubling up a few hands ago, Giorgiy Skhulukhiya shoved 8,600,000 in from the cutoff before Dori Yacoub moved all in himself for 13,000,000 from the small blind. Andrey Pateychuk took a peek at his cards and then called to put them both at risk.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: A♠Q♠ All in
Dori Yacoub: A♣8♠ All in
Andrey Pateychuk: A♦K♥

Pateychuk woke up with Big Slick at the perfect time as he had Skhulukhiya and Yacoub crushed. However, the 4♦Q♥10♣5♠3♦ runout gave Skhulukhiya the winner with a pair of queens on the flop.

Skhulukhiya tripled up, and Yacoub was sent to the rail as he lost the sidepot against Pateychuk.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya was down to his last 2,900,000 and when it folded to him in the small blind, he jammed it in with just the big blind to get through. Grubinger looked at his cards and then quickly called.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: J♣7♠ All in
Marcel Grubinger: A♣8♣

Skhulukhiya stood up as he knew he needed some help from the dealer to survive this all-in. The board ran out 3♣3♠3♦J♥9♦ to give Skhulukhiya the winner with a full house on the turn.

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya	6,600,000 2,500,000	2,500,000

Level 28 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Dzmitry Budai put his final 5,400,000 into the middle from the hijack and Alexander Goulder called from the cutoff to put him at risk of elimination.

Dzmitry Budai: A♥K♣ All in
Alexander Goulder: K♠J♥

Budai got it in good with Big Slick and just had to fade a jack to keep his final table hopes alive.

The flop came J♦10♦5♣ to propel Goulder into the lead with a pair of jacks. The K♥ on the turn didn't change anything, and neither did the 9♣ river. Budai hit the rail and only twenty players were left.

Alexander Goulder	17,000,000 3,750,000	3,750,000

Level 28 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Can Miral pushed all of his 6,300,000 across the line from early position. Andrey Pateychuk called from the big blind and the cards were revealed.

Can Miral: Q♠J♦ All in
Andrey Pateychuk: 5♦5♣

It was a flip that was for Miral's tournament life. The dealer put out a board of A♠9♠K♦2♠8♥, which meant Pateychuk's fives held up, and Miral was out in twent-second place.

Andrey Pateychuk	45,200,000 7,375,000	7,375,000

Level 28 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Nemanja Lukovic min-raised from the button before Jakub Sterba three-bet shoved for 5,375,000 from the small blind. After the big blind folded, Lukovic made the call and went bounty hunting.

Jakub Sterba: A♣8♦ All in
Nemanja Lukovic : A♥2♥

Sterba had the superior ace preflop, but the 6♣K♦2♦ flop put Lukovic in the lead with a deuce. The 3♠ turn meant only an eight on river could save Sterba. The river was the miracle 8♥ to give Sterba the winning hand, and he doubled up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nemanja Lukovic	22,800,000 575,000	575,000
Jakub Sterba	12,000,000 5,425,000	5,425,000

Sergey Levin shoved 4,500,000 into the middle from the button and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya made the call from the big blind to try and bust him.

Sergey Levin: K♠9♠ All in
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: Q♣J♣

Neither player improved on the 10♥9♥9♦8♣5♥ runout, meaning Levin's king-high held up and he doubled through Skhulukhiya.

Sergey Levin	10,200,000 5,400,000	5,400,000
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya	4,100,000 5,700,000	5,700,000

Level 28 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Aleksei Ovchinnikov shoved his last 3,075,000 from under the gun and Yilu Yuan made the call from the cutoff to try and bust him.

Aleksei Ovchinnikov: 10♥7♥ All in
Yilu Yuan: A♠Q♥

Ovchinnikov was behind with ten-seven suited, but at least his cards were live. The flop came down J♦7♠9♠ to put Ovchinnikov in the lead with a pair of sevens. The K♠ turn gave Yuan a load of outs heading to the river. Yuan managed to find one of those outs on the 10♠, as he improved to a flush.

The pot was sent over to Yuan and Ovchinnikov was headed to the cashier's desk.

Level 28 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Sergey Bagirov, Aleksandr Tipikin, and Mazen Halabi got all of their chips in the middle with Tipikin having the biggest stack, and the chance to send two players to the rail.

Sergey Bagirov: A♠2♠ All in
Mazen Halabi: A♦J♣ All in
Aleksandr Tipikin: Q♥Q♣

Tipikin could bust two players if his queens could hold up. The board ran out 7♣4♦5♠6♣A♣ to give Halabi the winner with an ace on the river. Bagirov was out, and Tipikin was left with just a few big blinds.

Player	Chips	Progress
Mazen Halabi	22,100,000 13,025,000	13,025,000

Level 28 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Marcel Grubinger opened from under the gun with Roman Stoika calling from the cutoff and Sergey Levin defending the big blind.

After Levin checked the 3♣6♥J♣ flop, Grubinger bet 3,000,000, which only Stoika called.

Grubinger slowed down and checked the 3♦ turn and Stoika fired out a bet of 4,200,000. Grubinger thought for a few moments, then made the call.

The J♠ hit the river and Grubinger checked for the last time. Stoika fired out 4,500,000, which Grubinger called.

Stoika flipped over the goods with A♥J♥ to win the pot with a boat, as Grubinger mucked K♦6♦ for a pair of sixes.

Player	Chips	Progress
Roman Stoika	36,000,000 14,975,000	14,975,000
