Alexandr Lakhov Eliminated in 9th Place ($35,400)
Level 25
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko made it 1,200,000 under the gun before Alexandr Lakhov jammed for 6,125,000 from the cutoff. Andrey Pateychuk was in the big blind with 7,200,000 total and moved all in himself. Kirichenko folded and the cards were revealed.
Alexandr Lakhov: A♠Q♣ 
Andrey Pateychuk: K♥K♦
Pateychuk found the Cowboys at the perfect time and looked likely to virtually double-up, while sending Lakhov out of the tournament. The board ran out 4♦J♦Q♥6♥5♠, which may have improved Lakhov to top pair, but Pateychuk's Cowboys still won the hand. The pot was pushed to Pateychuk, and Lakhov was the first to be eliminated at the final table.
