Ilya Nikiforov Eliminated in 3rd Place ($254,791)
Level 32
: 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Nacho Barbero raised to 600,000 on the button, then called when big blind Ilya Nikiforov shoved for his last 2,800,000.
Ilya Nikiforov: 
Nacho Barbero: 
Nikiforov remained in front on the 
flop, but the 
on the turn gave Barbero a pair and left Nikiforov drawing to an eight on the river to stay alive. He didn't connect with the 
and was eliminated in third place.
Barbero and Fabiano Kovalski are now taking a quick break before the start of heads-up play.
