Roman Stoika Eliminated in 8th Place ($10,500)
Level 33
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Roman Stoika raised to 10,000,000 from early position with just 4,000,000 behind. Alexander Goulder called from the small blind and they went heads-up to the flop.
Goulder checked the 2♠5♠6♦ flop and Stoika jammed his last 4,000,000 into the middle. Goulder made the call.
Roman Stoika: A♦7♥ 
Alexander Goulder: Q♥J♣
Stoika was ahead with ace-high and if Goulder didn't improve, then Stoika would be right back in the middle of the pack at this final table. The 2♥ turn didn't change anything, but the Q♦ river propelled Goulder to a pair of queens, sending Stoika out in eighth place.
