Alexsandr Denisov Eliminated In 2nd Place (4,700,000 RUB)

Level 33 : 125,000/250,000, 25,000 ante
Alexsandr Denisov - 2nd Place
Alexsandr Denisov - 2nd Place

Aleksandr Merzhvinskiy limped as has been happening most hands and Alexsandr Denisov made only the second shove of the heads-up match. Merzhvinskiy nearly beat him to the pot and called.

Denisov: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Merzhvinskiy: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {q-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

It was all over. Denisov looked like he was settling in for a long grind, showing Merzhvinskiy that he would play it tight for as long as it takes but Merzhvinskiy was patient and was lucky enough to be able to set a trap and have the patience to execute the limp with a monster.
