Lyudmil Ivanov Eliminated in 2nd Place ($134,000)

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Lyudmil Ivanov
Lyudmil Ivanov

On the first hand of heads-up, Sergei Varnaev shoved from the button and Lyudmil Ivanov called for his remaining 2,250,000 out of the big blind.

Lyudmil Ivanov; A♥2♥ All in
Sergei Varnaev: J♠10♥

Varnaev had a chance to take it down right now if he could spike a ten or a jack on the runout.

The flop came down 4♣10♠5♣ which put Varnaev ahead with top pair, though Ivanov did have a gutshot straight draw and an ace that he could hit. The 10♣ turn meant he was one card away from winning the tournament.

The river was the 6♥ and Ivanov was out in second, while Varnaev was the 2025 Merit Poker Western Series High Roller Champion.
