Russo Hits the Rail
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Sebastien Russo's stack had been decimated since the start of the day and he was down to around 30,000. He elected to jam from middle position, and Oleksii Shchukin decided to give him a spin from the button.
Sebastien Russo: K♣10♦ 
Oleksii Shchukin: 5♦5♥
Russo was out of his seat upon seeing he was in a 50/50 for his tournament life, perhaps sensing what was to come.
He was correct in his prediction as he remained unimproved on the 3♠J♦2♣2♦6♠ runout, and Shchukin's pair of fives held up, eliminating Russo.
