Sultan Meirbekov Eliminated in 13th Place ($10,000)
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Ivan Govorov opened to 250,000 from middle position and Sultan Meirbekov called from the hijack.
The flop came Q♦7♥5♥. Govorov bet 500,000 and Meirbekov moved all in for roughly 2,700,000. Govorov, who barely covered, made the call to put Meirbekov at risk.
Sultan Meirbekov: K♠Q♣
Ivan Govorov: A♣A♠
Meirbekov was in rough shape with top pair against Govorov's overpair. He found no help on the 8♣ turn or J♥ river and was eliminated from the tournament while Govorov received a full double up.
