Level 32 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Uladzimir Luchkou moved all in from the button for 6,600,000 and was called by Priamo Carta in the small blind, with Luchkou at risk.

Uladzimir Luchkou: 10♠9♠ All in
Priamo Carta: K♣J♣

Luchkou was behind but had live cards. However the K♠10♦K♦ left him almost drawing dead and his departure in third was confirmed by the 6♥ turn, with the J♠ river completing the board.

Luchkou gave his opponents a hug and wished them well for heads-up and departed the table after a great run.
