Nikolay Losev Eliminated in 28th Place ($193,000)

Nikolay Losev - 28th Place
Nikolay Losev - 28th Place
Nicholas Sliwinski and Nikolay Losev have been sparring all night long and their final confrontation is our final hand of the night. Again the action was folded around to Sliwinski in the small blind, and this time he chose to simply call. Losev was having none of that--he raised to 775,000. Sliwinski then moved all in, meaing Losev had to decide whether to call for his last 700,000.

After tanking a bit Losev made the call, and his {3-Hearts} {8-Hearts} were up against Sliwinski's {A-Clubs} {5-Hearts}. Losev had two live cards but the board ran out {10-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {4-Spades} and Nikolay Losev was our last elimination of the night, finishing in 28th place. When play resumes tomorrow Sliwinski will have a 4.9 million stack waiting for him.
