Mikhail Prokopchuk Eliminated in 44th Place ($240,000)
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Johan Schumacher opened to 500,000 in early position and Maksim Pisarenko just flat-called on his left. Mikhail Prokopchuk ripped all in for 4,550,000 in the small blind and Joey Padron cold-called in the big blind. Schumacher quickly folded but Pisarenko went into the tank for over three minutes before calling as well.
It was heads-up on a dry side pot and the flop of A♥A♣4♥ was checked around. The 5♥ hit the turn and both players checked to the A♦ on the river. Padron threw in a bet of 2,000,000 and Pisarenko snapped him off.
All three hands were tabled with Padron turning over 10♠10♣. Pisarenko held K♠K♦ to claim the side pot and Prokopchuk was left with J♥J♦ which saw him hit the rail in 44th place.
