Maksim Tatarintsev Eliminated in 12th Place ($3,185)
Level 20
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Glenn Nicolas raised to 75,000 from the small blind, and Maksim Tatarintsev committed much of his remaining stack to make the call in the big blind.
Nicolas continued for 85,000 on the J♥3♥Q♦ flop, calling quickly when Tatarintsev moved all in.
Maksim Tatarintsev: 6♥5♥ 
Glenn Nicolas: K♦J♦
Tatarintsev was trailing, and the 5♦ turn was not enough to save his tournament life. The 8♣ river left Nicolas with the best hand, bringing an end to Tatarintsev's bid for a three-peat in San Diego.
