Genrik Alekian Eliminated in 6th Place (€12,000)
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Genrik Alekian shoved 550,000 from the button and Nikolay Fal took some time before he called from the small blind.
Genrik Alekian: A♥10♠
Nikolay Fal: A♣9♦
Alekian was ahead with a bigger kicker, and that was keeping him ahead through the 2♠2♦4♦ flop. However, a 4♠ on the turn meant there was two pair on board, leaving the players with the same hand.
Just as it seemed the pot would be chopped, a brutal 9♣ on the river gave Fal a pair of nines, and sent Alekian out in sixth.
