Ruslan Gazaev Slays "The Dragon"

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

David "The Dragon" Pham moved all in under the gun for roughly 400,000. Action folded around to Ruslan Gazaev who thought for a bit, then made the call from the big blind.

Pham: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}
Gazaev: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The flop was safe for Pham when it came {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{J-Clubs}, but that changed on the {Q-Diamonds} turn where Gazaev took the lead. He further improved on the {Q-Hearts} river and his three of a kind were good to slay "The Dragon" and remove him from the tournament.
