Viacheslav Balaev Eliminated in 8th Place ($61,500)
Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Viacheslav Balaev shoved 2,500,000 from under the gun and Nicolas Chouity called in middle position.
Viacheslav Balaev: J♦J♣ 
Nicolas Chouity: K♣Q♥
Balaev was ahead with his pocket jacks, but the K♦10♠3♦ flop meant it was a long road to recovery for him. A 10♦ on the turn did give some hope with a flush draw, but the K♥ river meant Balaev was out in eighth.
