Nikolay Ponomarev Eliminated in 16th Place ($11,455)
Level 30
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Nikolay Ponomarev shoved for 900,000 from under the gun and Atanas Malinov was the only one to flick in a chip on the button.
Nikolay Ponomarev: A♦Q♣ 
Atanas Malinov: 4♠4♥
Malinov was looking to thin down the field with his Sailboats and got off to a good start on the 6♠5♠J♣ flop. A 10♠ on the turn did give him Ponomarev a few more outs with a gutshot, but the 2♥ river was a brick, leaving him on the sidelines in 16th.
