Ante: 125,000

"Dima" Eliminated in 9th Place (€22,500)

Level 20 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

"Dima" made a raise to 200,000 in middle position. Pavel Izotov three-bet to 575,000 in the hijack, after which the action folded back to "Dima". He put in the call before the Q?8?4? flop was checked through.

"Dima" bet 500,000 before the 7? turn even hit the felt. Izotov put him all-in for around double that and was snap-called.

"Dima": Q?Q?J?3? All in
Pavel Izotov: A?A?7?6?

Izotov's flush remained best as the 2? river did not pair the board. "Dima" waved goodbye with his set as the first elimination of the final table.
