Konstantyn Holskyi Eliminated in 2nd Place (€306,600)

Barry Russell

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Konstantyn Holskyi was heads up against Piotr Sztenkiel who had over a 10:1 chip lead.

Action started when Holskyi shoved 3,000,000 on the button and got quickly called by Sztenkiel. Holskyi seemed pleasantly surprised to see Sztenkiel's hand as he called so quickly.

Konstantyn Holskyi: A♣4♦ All in
Piotr Sztenkiel: K♥3♠

Sztenkiel was getting smacked by the deck at this point as he flopped another pair on 6♠2♠3♦. The turn card J♦ gave Holskyi no additional equity and the 7♠ ended Holskyi's amazing run in the high roller.

Piotr Sztenkiel: 6♣6♦

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Mariusz Golinski raised under the gun to 500,000 and Konstantyn Holskyi to his direct left shoved all in for 3,300,000. Action is now with Matteo Calzoni in the cutoff who also announced "all-in" for 2,925,000.

Golinski who covered both players also called after a short while.

Matteo Calzoni: A♣K♥ All in
Konstantyn Holskyi: A♠J♠ All in
Mariusz Golinski: A♦K♣

The flop of 2♥7♣3♦ looked safe for Calzoni and Golinski but the poker gods had other ideas as Holskyi turned top pair J♥. The 2♦ did nothing for Calzoni and he was eliminated.

Player	Chips	Progress
Konstantyn Holskyi	10,100,000 7,800,000	7,800,000

Ivan Burmistrov open-shoved from early position for 3,300,000. Piotr Sztenkiel on the button asked for a count and once the dealer confirmed the amount he also announced "all in."

Ivan Burmistrov: A♠K♦ All in
Piotr Sztenkiel: 8♥8♠

The flop was very good for Sztenkiel as it came 4♥5♣3♥. The turn card 6♦ was no help to Burmistrov and the river 8♦ ended Burmistrov's fantastic run in the high roller.
