"PrettyVinnie" Eliminated in 9th Place ($14,732)

Level 40 : 500,000/1,000,000, 125,000 ante

"PrettyVinnie" was down to less than four big blinds when they raised to 3,000,000, leaving less than a big blind behind. Next to act, Pavel "silentm0de" Plesuv reraised to 5,000,000.

Two seats over, "k0SICE" would four bet it to 14,000,000. "PrettyVinnie" would call all in, but Plesuv was ready to play for it all, five bet shoving all in. "k0SICE" folded, and Plesuv was already set to scoop a nice side pot with just {a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. He was ahead of the {k-Spades}{j-Clubs} held by "PrettyVinnie", who looked like they would more than triple up after the flop came down {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

The {8-Diamonds} turn changed nothing, but the {a-Hearts} on the river changed everything, giving Plesuv a better two pair, sending another massive pot his way. After that hand, Plesuv has about half the chips in play with eight players still remaining.
