$1m Guaranteed 8-Max: Dubini Drops, Two Tables Remain
Just 16 players are left in the hunt for the $266,800 top prize in the $1million-guaranteed 8-Max Side Event here at MILLIONS Russia.
The partypoker Sponsored Pro Richard Dubini will not be among the final table players, having been dealt a bad beat on his way out.
"I had jacks against sixes," the Argentinian told us. "I flopped a jack and he hit runner-runner flush to knock me out."
Dubini may be out of the door, but his fellow partypoker Sponsored Pros Anatoly Filatov (1.5m) and Johnny Lodden (750,000) remain. Both are shorter than the 2.4m average, but as Lodden told us, he expects to have "3.5 million chips very soon." That's what you call announcing your goal.
Serial live tournament casher Konstantin Puchkov remains in contention for the title with 1.6m, but it's Daniel Clark, who qualified for the Main Event on partypoker, who continues to take the plaudits. He has just under 7 million after eliminating two more players. It's hard not to see the in-form British player making the final table. He has had all the momentum today on the final day.
