Boris Smuskevicius Eliminated in 9th Place ($16,900)
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya raised to 250,000 in middle position, Boris Smuskevicius three-bet to 800,000 in the small blind, and Skhulukhiya called.
The flop came 9♥5♣K♣ and Smuskevicius continued for 650,000. Skhulukhiya called.
The turn was the 4♣ and Smuskevicius checked to Skhulukiya, who bet 1,100,000. Smuskevicius called and they saw a river of K♠.
Skhulukhiya then moved all in and Smuskevicius snap-called for 1,700,000 with A♠K♦ for trip kings. Skhulukhiya, though, had 9♦9♣ for a full house to win the massive pot.
Smuskevicius went around the table exchanging fist bumps with his tablemates before heading off to the payout desk in ninth place.
