Nekrasov Predicts His Own Demise
Carlos Chadha raised to 525 from middle position and it started a chain reaction of calls and bets that ultimately cost Evgeny Nekrasov his tournament life.
First, Martin Hanowski called to Chadha's immediate left, then Nekrasov called to Hanowski's left. Christopher Lockhart called, then Louis Salter raised to 2,800 from the small blind. Salter's raise was enough to fold out Chadha, but Hanowski called. Nekrasov then moved all-in for 6,850, folding out Lockhart, but Salter put in another raise, which Hanowski folded to!
Salter: 
Nekrasov: 
Nekrasov was a firm favorite to more than double his stack, and that remained the case on the

, sending Nekrasov to the rail.
Hanowski claimed to have folded 
in the chatter that followed.
