Geshkenbein Latest Elimination

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Vladimir Geshkenbein
Vladimir Geshkenbein

Vladimir Geshkenbein moved all in for around 100,000 and was called by Vladimir Troyanovskiy.

Vladimir Geshkenbein: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Vladimir Troyanovskiy: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}

The flop came {9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{9-Spades}. The turn was the {6-Clubs} giving Geshkenbein an additional flush draw, but the {6-Diamonds} river meant that he was counterfeited and bust from the tournament just five players from the money.
