Maksim Shornikau Eliminated in 6th Place ($75,000)
Level 26
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Mehdi Chaoui raised to 1,600,000 from middle position and Maksim Shornikau shoved for 7,500,000 from the next seat. When it got back to Chaoui he thought about it for a while and then put in the call to put Shornikau at risk.
Maksim Shornikau: A♥Q♣ 
Mehdi Chaoui: J♠10♠
Shornikau was the shortest stack at the table and needed to win this hand to stay alive. The 3♥3♦2♣ flop meant only a jack or ten would end Shornikau's run. The J♥ hit the turn to propel Chaoui into the lead, and when the 7♣ hit the river, Shornikau was sent to the cashier's desk to collect the sixth-place payout.
