Ruben Hovsepyan Eliminated in 8th Place ($7,270)
Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Kerem Turuskan raised to 320,000 from early position and Timur Mukhamedaminov three-bet the button to 1,050,000. Ruben Hovsepyan then shoved from the small blind for 1,170,000, which got Turuskan to fold, then Mukhamedaminov put in the extra.
Ruben Hovsepyan: Q♦Q♣ 
Timur Mukhamedaminov: A♦A♣
Hovsepyan had picked up queens at the worst possible time as Mukhamedaminov had the rockets and wanted to blast his opponent out of the tournament.
The runout of 2♠8♠8♣5♣6♦ changed nothing, and Hovsepyan was sent to the rail in eighth.
