Andrey Shatilov Eliminated in 16th Place ($13,240)
Andrey Shatilov has been eliminated in the space of two hands; btoh against [Removed:2].
The first saw Shatilov open to 20,000 UTG+1 and after Robert Mizrachi folded [Removed:2] three-bet to 45,000. The action passed back to Shatilov and he four-bet to 83,000 and 90-seconds later Maksoud five-bet to 125,000. This was enough to get the job done because Shatilov folded and was shown 
for his troubled.
The very next hand Shatilov opened to 20,000 once again and Maksoud three-bet to 45,000. Shatilov made it 87,000 to play and Maksoud four-bet to 87,000. With the action back on Shatilov he made it 139,000 (we're not making this up, honest), Maksoud shoved and Shatilov snap-called.
Shatilov: 
Maksoud: 
By the river the board read 
and although the ace alone would have been enough to win the hand for Maksoud, it also completed a spade flush and with that Shatilov was eliminated.
