Gurevich Falls to Crookston
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
It folded to Garry Gurevich on the button who committed 110,000 of his 122,000 stack. Andrew Crookston jammed in the small blind, and Gurevich called off the final few chips.
Garry Gurevich: A♣8♣
Andrew Crookston: K♦Q♦
Gurevich was in the lead until the Q♠8♠6♥ flop vaulted Crookston into the lead, but also paired Gurevich's kicker. Unfortunately for him, he found no additional help on the 5♠J♦ runout, and he was eliminated.
The field now sits with 123 players, just eight spots away from the money.
