Sokolovsky Heads the the Rail
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Alexander Sokolovsky had about 25,000 left in his stack, which was equivalent to about 17 big blinds. In this hand, he got all of his chips into the middle from late position, and Seref Anar was the player trying to bust him.
Alexander Sokolovsky: K♠J♠ 
Seref Anar: Q♥Q♦
Sokolovsky took the lead on the K♦J♥4♠ flop by hitting top two pair. However, the Q♠ rolled off on the turn to improve Anar to a set of queens.
Sokolovsky still a lot of outs going to the river, but the 9♥ wasn't one of them and he was out of the tournament.
