Wahlbeck First to Hit the Rail
A huge pot just went Mikalai Vaskaboinikau's way, which left Ville Wahlbeck extremely short-stacked.
There was a raise to 12,000, which Wahlbeck called from the small blind before Vaskaboinikau made it 50,000 to go from the big blind. The initial raiser called, then Wahlbeck made it 240,000. Vaskaboinikau then bumped it up to 780,000, the initial raiser folded, and Wahlbeck called.
The flop came 4♦7♣4♣, where Wahlbeck checked and Vaskaboinikau shoved 268,000. Wahlbeck took some time, but eventually felt like he had to call with the slightly covering stack.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: A♥A♦10♦3♥ 
Ville Wahlbeck: A♠K♠J♦3♦
Wahlbeck was hoping for some miracle, but the 4♥ turn left him drawing dead as Vaskaboinikau had a full house. The meaningless J♥ hit the river, and Wahlbeck was left with around 50,000. Shortly after, he was eliminated.
