Smbatyan's Big Slick Sends Haverstad to the Rail
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
The action was unclear, but when PokerNews arrived at the table, Thomas Haverstad was all in for about 60,000 and Artyom Smbatyan had called, putting Haverstad at risk of elimination.
Thomas Haverstad: A?Q? 
Artyom Smbatyan: A?K?
The flop of 4?K?5? gave Smbatyan a pair of kings and meant Haverstad needed running cards to stay alive. The 6? on the turn left him drawing dead. An inconsequential K? hit the river, improving Smbatyan to trips and eliminating Haverstad from the tournament.
