Level 25
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
When it folded to Aleksandr Kirichenko in the small blind, he shoved for Ali Al-Kubasi's 4.000,000 chips in the big blind. Al-Kubasi looked at his cards, then made the call for his tournament life.
Ali Al-Kubasi: Q♠J♣
Aleksandr Kirichenko: Q♦4♥
Al-Kubasi found himself in a great spot to get the much-needed double-up, as he had Kirichenko dominated. However, the runout of 8♥4♣6♠3♥2♦ gave Kirichenko the winner with a pair of fours, and Al-Kubasi was the second elimination at the final table.
