Arthur Simonyan Eliminated in 4th Place (€100,000)

Alexander Dovzhenko started the action with a raise to 140,000 under the gun, quickly folding Vitaly Tolokonnikov on the button. In the small blind, though, Arthur Simonyan grabbed his diminutive stack of 275,000 chips and moved them into the middle confidently. Big blind Max Lykov appeared to be debating a call, but he eventually ducked out of the way and let Dovzhenko and his abundance of chips put Simonyan at risk.

Showdown
Dovzhenko: {10-Diamonds}

Simonyan:

The flop would pair Simonyan, but it was the wrong card as it came out {K-Clubs}

. The

on the turn was a blank, and the {K-Diamonds}

that filled out the board did nothing to save the at-risk player either.

With that, Arthur Simonyan becomes our fourth-place finisher here in Kyiv. Commendations are in order for the poised way in which the Russian rode his short stack to a near-podium finish today. For his efforts, he will take home a very respectable €100,000.
