Akhmetzianov Eliminated by Meng
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Down to only 48,000 in chips, Russia's Artur Akhmetzianov pushed all-in from an early position and was called by chip leader Zhiqiang Meng in the big blind.
Artur Akhmetzianov: K♠10♣ 
Zhiqiang Meng: 8♠4♦
The A♠9♥4♥A♣Q♠ board reduced the field by one hopeful and the field plummeted to 76 hopefuls.
One table over, Likhitaumpai Kriangkrai was all-in from the cutoff with the 9♠9♦ and Thailand-born Tanupat Punjarojanakul called on the button with the K♥8♥. The A♠9♣5♥ flop gave Kriangkrai a set of nines and he already celebrated vividly. The sweat came with the 3♥ turn but the K♠ river didn't let the bubble burst just yet.
