Kirill Rabtsov Eliminated in 6th Place ($78,142)

Kirill Rabtsov, 6th place
Kirill Rabtsov, 6th place

Kirill Rabtsov committed the last of his chips on fourth street against Frank Kassela, who was showing an open pair of kings. Kassela turned over a pair of eights in the hole to go with it, while Rabtsov had four to a flush. Rabtsov rivered the flush, but Kassela caught a third king on seventh street to eliminate Rabtsov in sixth place.

Rabstov Crushed as Kessler Soars

Allen Kessler: (X)(X) / {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} / (X)
Jennifer Harman: (X)(X) / {A-Spades}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades} / (X)
Frank Kassela: (X)(X) / {K-Clubs} - fold
Kirill Rabtsov: (X)(X) / {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} / (X)

Kessler brought in before Harman completed. Kassela called and then Rabtsov raised. Kessler called, Harman reraised, Kassela folded, Rabtsov re-reraised and then both Kessler and Harman called.

On the next street, Harman checked, Rabtsov bet, then both Kessler and Harman called. On fifth street, Harman bet, Rabtsov raised, Kessler called and was all in for 95,000 and then Harman called. On sixth street, Harman checked, Rabtsov fired a bet and Harman called. For seventh street, Harman checked, Rabtsov bet and Harman called.

Harman turned up the {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for two pair, aces and nines. She bested Rabtsov's aces and eights when he turned up the {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Kessler held the {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and then sweated his last card. He peeled off the {2-Clubs} and made a full house in order to scoop the main pot as no player held a low.

Kessler catapulted his stack to one million, Harman moved to 1.3 million and Rabtsov dropped all the way down to 145,000.
