"Kenar" Eliminated in 11th Place ($40,000)
Alex Kulev raised to 100,000 in the cutoff, Kenar moved all in for 480,000 in the small blind, and Kulev snap-called.
Meanwhile, at the other table Maksim Shornikau bet 85,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 7♥Q♠4♦ and Klemens Roiter called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 3♦ turn, and Roiter led out for 125,000 on the 6♠ river. Shornikau quickly called with Q♥J♠, and Roiter mucked Q♣8♣. Kulev and Kenar then revealed their cards.
Kenar: A♣Q♥
Alex Kulev: A♥J♥
Kenar had Kulev dominated as the flop came 10♥9♠8♦, but the Q♣ turn gave Kulev a straight. "You're running hot, man," Kenar said as he was up from his seat before the 2♠ completed the board on the river to seal his elimination.
"Lucky masseuse," Kulev, who has been receiving a massage for the past few levels, said.
