Kerzhapkin Zapped

Under the gun, Yury Kerzhapkin moved all in for 104,000. Right next door, Bassam Srour instantly called, and the table quickly folded all the way around. When the chips were counted down, it was Srour with the slightly covering stack, putting Kerzhapkin's tournament life in question.

Showdown
Kerzhapkin: {A-Spades} {J-Spades}
Srour: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}

The board brought two more spades but was ultimately useless as it ran out {7-Clubs} {9-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {5-Hearts}. Srour's overpair holds to take down the pot, sending Yury Kerzhapkin to the rail in 28th place. We are now sitting with three even nine-handed tables.
