Alexey Borovkov Eliminated in 6th Place ($80,000)
Level 24
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Alex Kulev raised to 200,000 in the hijack and Damir Gabdullin called in the cutoff. Alexey Borovkov then moved all in for 1,070,000 in the small blind and Kulev folded, but Gabdullin called to put Borovkov at risk.
Alexey Borovkov: A♥K♥
Damir Gabdullin: 8♠8♦
Borovkov needed to survive the flip to keep his tournament hopes alive. The 9♥7♦6♠ flop was no help, but the 3♥ turn gave him additional outs with a flush draw. The river, though, was the 7♣ and Gabdullin's eights held on to earn him the knockout.
