Oleksii Shchukin Eliminated in 9th Place (€5,790)
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Genrik Alekian opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Oleksii Shchukin shoved middle position for around 350,000. When it got back to Alekian, he confirmed the count and after around 30 seconds, he called.
Oleksii Shchukin: J♠J♥ 
Genrik Alekian: A♦K♦
It was instant service for Alekian, who found a king on the 5♥9♦K♥ flop to take the lead. A Q♦ turn gave both players draws as Alekian picked up a flush draw and Shchukin a straight draw.
However, the 7♠ river was a brick, and Shchukin was out in ninth,
