Aleksandr Chernikov Eliminated in 16th Place ($29,000)
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Maximilian Wieser raised the button to 50,000 and Aleksandr Chernikov jammed for 380,000 out of the small blind. Kenar shoved from the big blind for about 900,000, which forced Wieser to fold.
Aleksandr Chernikov: A♥Q♥
Kenar: A♣K♥
Chernikov was unfortunate that Kenar woke up with a huge hand in the big blind, and he needed a queen or some hearts to make it to the break.
Neither player improved on the 4♦4♠8♠5♦7♥ runout, which meant Kenar's big slick won the pot, and Chernikov was out in 16th place.
