Boris Smuskevicius Eliminated in 9th Place ($16,900)
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya raised to 250,000 in middle position, Boris Smuskevicius three-bet to 800,000 in the small blind, and Skhulukhiya called.
The flop came 9?5?K? and Smuskevicius continued for 650,000. Skhulukhiya called.
The turn was the 4? and Smuskevicius checked to Skhulukiya, who bet 1,100,000. Smuskevicius called and they saw a river of K?.
Skhulukhiya then moved all in and Smuskevicius snap-called for 1,700,000 with A?K? for trip kings. Skhulukhiya, though, had 9?9? for a full house to win the massive pot.
Smuskevicius went around the table exchanging fist bumps with his tablemates before heading off to the payout desk in ninth place.
