Vezhenkov Eliminated
Level 20
: 70,000/140,000, 140,000 ante
When we got to Table 41, Artem Vezhenkov was stood up and shaking the hand of Viktor Khodorenko, who had just eliminated him from the tournament.
One of our colleagues from the Russian blog informed us of the action. It was reported that Vezhenkov raised to 1,000,000 from under the gun and when the action folded around to Khodorenko in the big blind, he asked the floor to help Vezhenkov restore his chip stack that was laid out in front of him. The stack was verified at 2.6m and Khodorenko moved all in, which Vezhenkov called.
Artem Vezhenkov: 
Viktor Khodorenko: 
Board: 
Khodorenko hit a set and had Vezhenkov covered to send the former to rail.
