Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi Eliminated in 6th Place ($95,415)
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi raised to 2,000,000 under the gun, leaving 40,000 behind. Big stack David Mcgowan called in the small blind, and the big blind folded.
Ohulchanskyi asked his opponent, "Do you have a pair?" Mcgowan replied, "Yes".
The flop came down 5♠K♥8♥ and Mcgowan said "I have a set", but Ohulchanskyi wasn't all in yet.
Mcgowan flicked a 100,000 chip into the middle to put his opponent all in, but now Ohulchanskyi had some thinking to do, knowing his opponent's hand strength.
After a brief conversation with the floor about whether he would post his big blind or his ante first in the very next hand, he decided just to throw the remainder of his stack in the middle.
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi: 4♦4♠
David Mcgowan: 8♦8♠
Ohulchanskyi needed to hit running four-of-a-kind or a running straight, but all hope was lost on the 10♠ turn.
The necessary, but irrelevant, river was dealt the 7♣, and Ohulchanskyi headed to the exit.
