Valeriy Pak Eliminated in 27th Place ($5,600)

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Valeriy Pak
Valeriy Pak

Valeriy Pak jammed his stack of about ten big blinds from the button and was called Huseyin Akgul in the big blind.

Valeriy Pak: {8-Spades}{5-Spades}
Huseyin Akgul: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Akgul woke up with kings in the big blind and was very likely to take out the start-of-day chip leader with the cowboys. The flop came {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} to pair Pak's five to give him a glimmer of hope. The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and the river the {6-Clubs} to confirm his elimination.
