Paul Runcan Eliminated in 15th Place ($11,500)
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Paul Runcan shoved for 180,000 from the cutoff and Sergei Varnaev made the call from the big blind to put him at risk.
Paul Runcan: K♥8♦ 
Sergei Varnaev: 10♣8♣
Runcan had Varnaev dominated and looked likely to double-up. The flop of A♣K♣6♠ put Runcan in the lead with a pair of kings but did give Varnaev a flush draw. The 9♣ turn gave Varnaev the flush and left Runcan drawing dead as the 4♦ came on the river and Runcan was out.
