Konnikova's Snowmen Eliminate Meladze
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
With roughly 9,000 in the pot, on a flop of 6♦3♣8♦, Merab Meladze shoved for 11,000 with Maria Konnikova calling to put him at risk from the button.
Merab Meladze: 9♦8♣ 
Maria Konnikova: 8♥8♠
Meladze needed runner-runner to stay alive. He found some help on the 10♦ turn, but the Q♥ river didn't improve his hand and Konnikova's set of eights would eliminate him from the tournament.
