Igor Sharaskin Eliminated in 4th Place ($56,187)
Level 29
: 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Big-O
Vladimir Shchemelev called from under the gun, Howard Smith called from the button, Nikolai Yakovenko called from the small blind, and Igor Sharaskin moved his last 75,000 chips into the middle from the big blind. Shchemelev announced, "Pot," and pushed 285,000 into the middle. Smith quickly announced a pot-sized four-bet, and Shchmelev folded, leaving Sharaskin and Smith heads-up.
Sharaskin: 
Smith: 
The flop fell 
to give Sharaskin Broadway and a commanding lead. The 
on the turn kept Sharaskin out in front, but the 
river gave Smith jacks full of queens to scoop the pot and end Sharaskin's run in this tournament.
