Eugene Golubchik Eliminated in 12th Place ($80,000)
Level 19
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Quan Zhou raised to 275,000 from the button before Eugene Golubchik potted it out of the big blind. Zhou shoved, and Golubchik called for his stack of about a million.
Eugene Golubchik: K♠K♦10♠6♥
Quan Zhou: A♠A♦Q♥9♠
Golubchik was the underdog with kings against the aces of Zhou.
Zhou flopped trips on the Q♠Q♣5♣ flop, and after the 7♦ arrived on the turn Golubchik needed one of the two remaining kings to fall on the river to survive.
A A♣ rolled off to complete the board, giving Zhou a boat, and Golubchik was sent to the rail in 12th place.
