Volodymyr Kokoulin Eliminated in 9th Place (€12,450)
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Dusan Despotovic raised to 280,000 from under the gun and Volodymyr Kokoulin called for his stack of 120,000 out of the hijack. Antoine Delorme called from the big blind and they went to the flop with Kokoulin all-in.
A flop of 9♠K♥2♦ revealed itself and both players checked to see the 10♥ hit the turn. Two more checks followed for the 8♥ to complete the board. After two more checks, all three players showed their cards.
Despotovic tabled aces with A♦A♣Q♠Q♥, which was second best to Delorme's J♥8♣6♣5♥ for a rivered flush. Kokoulin flipped up A♠K♦10♠6♠ for a flopped two pair, meaning he was the first elimination at the final table.
