Level 9
: 200/400, 60 ante
This Super High Roller became a disappointment for Timofey "Trueteller" Kuznetsov. The Russian was just eliminated from the tournament by Mikael "ChaoRen160" Thuritz.
In his last hand, Kuznetsov opened from the button with a raise to 750. Thuritz put in a reraise from the small blind, making it 2,400. The flop came down 
and Thuritz made a continuation bet of 1,800. Kuznetsov called.
On the 
turn Thuritz checked, only to check-shove after Kuznetsov put in a bet of 3,900, leaving him with 13,400 behind. Kuznetsov called which put his tournament life on the line.

wasn't one of those outs and Kuznetsov was eliminated from the tournament.
