Pavel Shchitnikov Eliminated in 14th Place ($14,400)

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Pavel Shchitnikov
Pavel Shchitnikov

Adrian State raised to 250,000 from the hijack, and Pavel Shchitnikov called from the big blind.

When Shchitnikov saw the A♠5♦J♠ flop, he jammed for around 1,100,000, and State snap-called.

Pavel Shchitnikov: 5♠3♠ All in
Adrian State: A♥K♠

State held top pair against the pair and flush draw of Shchitnikov.

Shchitnikov picked up additional outs with a wheel draw on the 4♦ turn, but the Q♥ river was a brick, and he was eliminated in 14th place.
