Kirill Solovev Eliminated in 7th Place ($110,000)
Kirill Solovev open-raised to 1,500,000 from the hijack and Daniel Thaller moved all in from the button for 11,600,000. Solovev quickly made the call and had only slightly more chips as players showed their hands.
Daniel Thaller: A♠J♠
Kirill Solovev: K♣K♠
Thaller looks dismayed, until the board ran out A♦8♦3♣5♣6♣ to give him a pair of aces. Thaller doubled his stack, leaving Solovev with just 275,000 chips.
A couple of hands later, Solovev put his last 275,000 in the middle from under the gun. Jordan Woodall completed the small blind, then Mehmet Biskin iso-shoved from the big blind. Woodall folded.
Kirill Solovev: 4♥2♠
Mehmet Biskin: A♣9♣
The board ran out 7♠K♣A♠6♠9♦ to give Biskin two pair.
Solovev was eliminated in seventh place for $110,000, and was the first player to earn six-figures from the Main Event.
