Surin Sends Haitsiukevich to the Rail

Level 20 : 70,000/140,000, 140,000 ante

Mikhail Surin opened the action with a raise to 300,000 and Saar Wilf called in late position. Out of the small blind, Maksim Haitsiukevich pushed for what appeared to be 3.8 million and Surin called, Wilf folded.

Maksim Haitsiukevich: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Mikhail Surin: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

Haitsiukevich was dominated and the {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} flop brought no help. On the {8-Spades} turn, the Belorussian had one out for a split with the six of spades, and the miracle never came with a blank {Q-Clubs} on the river.

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: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Viktor Khodorenko: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

Board: {3-}{j-}{2-}{6-}{7-}

Khodorenko hit a set and had Vezhenkov covered to send the former to rail.

Queens Versus Queens

Level 20 : 70,000/140,000, 140,000 ante

Robbie Robinson and Andrey Pateychuk just got all their chips into the middle preflop after Pateychuk had called Robinson's four-bet shove. Both players flipped over their hands and were surprised to see they both held pocket queens.

The board brought the likely chop as the players split the blinds and antes.
