Ivan Ruban Eliminated in 11th Place ($34,385)

Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action started with a min-raise from Joseph Carden on the button. Erlend Melsom called in the small blind. Ivan Ruban was sitting in the big blind with just over 2,000,000 chips. He moved all in.
Carden folded and Melsom, after some thought, put in the chips.
Ivan Ruban: A?K?
Erlend Melsom: A?J?
Ruban was at risk, but ahead. However, the flop of J?A?3? turned the tables and Ruban now had only three direct outs to a better two pair.
The turn J? made things worse for Ruban and the river 8? ended his tournament.
