Valouev Triples, Geshkenbein Gone

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We just caught a hand that resulted in the elimination of Garrick Lau as well as the near triple up of Dmitrii Valouev. We got to the table on the flop of {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Valouev and Lau were both already all in, and Geshkenbein made the call with a covering stack.

Geshkenbein: {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Lau: {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Valouev: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

"I can't believe I'm in the lead," Geshkenbein said.

But that didn't last for long as the {A-Spades} fell on the turn giving Valouev the lead. The river was the {2-Clubs} sealing the knock out and double up for Valouev who vaulted to over 300,000 chips.

Geshkenbein was left crippled after the hand and was eliminated shortly after when his {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} was outrun by {A-}{3-}
