Vladimir Minko Eliminated in 5th Place ($248,174)
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
The action folded to Matthew Lambrecht in the small blind who shoved, which left Vladimir Minko with the decision for his stack of 5,000,000.
"Did you look?" asked Minko.
"Does it matter?" replied Lambrecht.
Minko looked at his cards and then put in a chip to make the call.
Vladimir Minko: 10?10? 
Matthew Lambrecht: A?7?
Minko kept his lead after the 3?K?7? flop but an A? on the turn left him one card from elimination. No help arrived on the 2? river which meant Minko was out in fifth.
