Alexander Shlyakhov Doubles Up Early and Three Eliminations

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Alexander Shlyakhov

Maksim Bura opened the action for 50,000 and Alexander Shlyakhov moved all in for 379,000.

Bura gave it a great deal of thought before calling and finding out he was ahead.

Shlyakhov: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Bura : {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The board ran out {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{j-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

The two pair on the flop good for a double up for Shlyakhov, who thumped the edge of the table in relief, while an unhappy Bura handed over the greater part of his stack and was eliminated shortly after.
Sergey Terentiev and Evgeny Panchenko have also been eliminated on other tables.
