Alexander Sokolovsky Eliminated in 12th Place (€68,050)
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Pedro Marques raised to 120,000 from early position and Alexander Sokolovsky three-bet jammed for 890,000 from the cutoff. After it folded back to Marques, he called to put Sokolovsky at risk.
Alexander Sokolovsky: K♠K♦ 
Pedro Marques: A♥K♥
Sokolovsky was in a great position to double-up if he could fade an ace or some hearts. The 7♣3♦Q♥ flop kept Sokolovsky ahead with his Cowboys. The 6♦ turn meant only an ace on the river would end his Main Event. A brutal A♠ dropped on the river to give Marques the winner, and send Sokolovsky to the cashier's desk in twelfth place
