Sofia Merkulova Eliminated in 24th Place ($7,190)
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Sofia Merkulova shoved for 790,000 from middle position and after it folded round to Nicolae Paunescu in the big blind, he snap-called.
Sofia Merkulova: A♥K♥ 
Nicolae Paunescu: A♠A♦
Merkulova was in the worst possible shape with Big Slick against the aces of Paunescu. A clean runout of 6♠4♠7♠9♣6♥ meant Paunescu's aces stayed ahead the whole way, and Merkulova was out.
