Matthew Paplyk Eliminated in 8th Place ($50,000)
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Matthew Paplyk raised to 2,000,000 from under the gun, leaving himself just 225,000 behind. It then folded to Sergei Gurin on the button who took his time before flat calling the two million and the remining players folded.
"Any chance you fold?" Paplyk joked as the 10♣9♦4♣ flop landed. He put in the last 225,000 and before Gurin even called, he flipped over the rockets and flicked in a chip. The story got even tougher when Paplyk tabled his hand.
Matthew Paplyk: K♥K♣ 
Sergei Gurin: A♠A♥
Paplyk was on the wrong end of yet another cooler on this final table. The 4♠ turn and the J♠ river did not bring the help he needed and Paplyk hit the rail after an amazing showing on the felt.
