Pavlin Karakikov Eliminated in 13th Place ($27,666)
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Michael Moncek kicked off the action with a raise to 80,000 from under the gun. Pavlin Karakikov, sitting in middle position with just 135,000 behind, moved all in. Action folded to Turbo Nguyen in the big blind, who reshoved, forcing Moncek to get out of the way.
Pavlin Karakikov: A♠3♥
Turbo Nguyen: 10♦10♣
Karakikov once again found himself up against pocket tens and behind in the hand. And once again, the board offered no salvation, running out Q♠Q♣5♥3♠6♣. Karakikov picked up a small pair on the turn, but it wasn’t enough, and his tournament run came to an end.
