Boris Angelov Eliminated in 8th Place ($27,600)
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Arie Kliper opened to 500,000 from under the gun with 
as action folded to Boris Angelov on the button, who three-bet to 1,200,000 with 
.
Kliper called as they went heads-up to the 
flop. Kliper checked his flush draw and Angelov continued for 600,000.
Kliper again called and made top pair on the 
turn. He checked more once and Angelov shoved all in for 3,925,000. Kliper grabbed a pile of chips from his stack and began shuffling them before he gave a shrug and slammed them in the middle to put Angelov at risk.
Angelov needed to improve on the river, but the 
wasn't the help he was looking for as he made his exit in eighth place.
With that pot, Kliper has overtaken Julien Loire for the chip lead at the final table.
