Kirill Shcherbakov Eliminated in 4th Place ($355,000)
Level 26
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Ottomar Ladva raised under the gun to 700,000 and Kirill Shcherbakov jammed from the big blind for 1,650,000. Ladva made the call and the players went to a showdown.
Kirill Shcherbakov: A♠A♣ 
Ottomar Ladva: K♠6♠
Shcherbakov had found aces at the perfect time, and only a very unfortunate runout would end his tournament just shy of the podium.
Ladva picked up a gutshot on the 9♦5♦7♠ flop, and added even more outs when the K♥ came on the turn by hitting a pair.
The 6♥ rolled off on the river to give Ladva runner-runner two pair, cracking the aces of Shcherbakov, who headed to the exit in fourth place.
