Oleksii Khoroshenin Eliminated in 3rd Place ($629,460)

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Oleksii Khoroshenin - 3rd Place
Oleksii Khoroshenin - 3rd Place

Oleksii Khoroshenin raised to 250,000 from the button and it folded to Joe Kuether in the big blind. Kuether three-bet all in for 2.21 million and Khoroshenin called for his own tournament life of about 1.78 million.

Khoroshenin: {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Kuether: {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Khoroshenin was in a dominating position and looked poised to double heading to the community cards. The flop came down {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}, however, giving Kuether a lot of hope with an open-ended straight draw. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn did nothing to help Kuether, but he drilled the winning straight on the river with the {10-Spades}. A distraught Khoroshenin took a quick leave from the tournament area while Kuether stacked his new chips.

Khoroshenin and Garibli are currently discussing a deal.

Scott Seiver Eliminated in 5th Place ($398,340)

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Scott Seiver - 5th Place
Scott Seiver - 5th Place

Scott Seiver was under the gun and he opened to 200,000. Ilkin Garibli was next to act and he popped it up to 510,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Seiver and he called to see a flop.

The dealer fanned {3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} on the felt and Seiver checked. Garibli cut out a bet of 630,000 and action was back on Seiver. He looked Garibli up and down.

"You look so calm," said Seiver to Garibli. "Like you don't have a good hand."

Seiver thought for a bit longer before announcing that he was all in over the top for 2.895 million total. This sent Garibli into the tank for about a minute. Ultimately, he quietly announced a call.

Seiver: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Garibli: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

"Please hold!" pleaded Seiver.

The {a-Diamonds} fell on the turn, giving the hand a bit more drama as Garibli could now make a higher flush with a diamond on the river. Unfortunately for Seiver, he was four-flushed in a key spot for the second time of the night after the {K-Diamonds} drilled the river. Seiver shot out of his seat in frustration while Garibli stared at the board with a stunned look.

Seiver was eliminated from play with a $398,340 payday while Garibli seized a commanding chip lead of 8.45 million.
