Yaroshevyy Joins the Main Event
Level 4
: 150/300, 50 ante
Alexander Kostritsyn was down to as low as 5,500 and since recovered, and Natan Chauskin also moved back to more than the starting stack. Igor Yaroshevskyy was eliminated in the National Championship High Roller and jumped into the Main Event while PokerStars Championship Monte-Carlo 4th place finisher Maxim Panyak holds a commanding lead in that tournament with four players left. Vladimir Troyanovskiy and Dmitry Ponomarev are also still in and battle for the title and trophy.
