Levon Khachatryan Eliminated in 2nd Place ($1,440,680)
Level 33
: 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Levon Khachatryan limped the button and Eelis Parssinen raised the pot to 2,400,000 in the big blind. Khachatryan then moved forward his remaining stack of T-500,000 chips and Parssinen called the all-in with the far superior stack.
Levon Khachatryan: A♦Q♣3♦3♥
Eelis Parssinen: A♣A♥6♦2♣
The 10♥5♥2♥ flop gave Khachatryan some hope with the wheel draw and he picked up another straight draw with the J♠ turn. His rail asked for a king but the 10♠ river paired the board to end Khachatryan's run in second place for $1,440,680, whereas Paarssinen earned his second WSOP gold bracelet and $2,161,056 for the efforts.
A recap of today's action is to follow.
