Vladimir Korzinin Eliminated in 3rd Place ($45,800)
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 120,000 on the button. Vladimir Korzinin called in the small blind and Marcelo Bonanata did so in the big blind.
The 4♣10♥10♣ flop was then checked to Ponakovs, who fired 75,000. Korzinin called before Bonanata folded.
Ponakovs sized up to 275,000 on the 6♥ turn. Korzinin check-raised all in for his remaining 860,000 and was snap called by Ponakovs.
Vladimir Korzinin: K♠8♦ 
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 10♦9♦
Korzinin's bluff was already drawing dead against Ponakovs' trips. He thanked his opponents for the game and then happily exclaimed, "Freedom!" as he left the table.
