Aleksandr Chernikov raised to 200,000 from early position as action folded around to El Khoury Gabriel on the button, who moved all in for 315,000.

The blinds got out of the way but Chernikov quickly called.

El Khoury Gabriel: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Aleksandr Chernikov: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}

Gabriel hit top pair on the {j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Spades} flop, but the chip leader wasn't going to be beaten that easily. The board ran out {7-Hearts}{a-Hearts} and Chernikov made running two pair to bust Gabriel in 20th place.
