Nikolay Ponomarev Eliminated in 13th Place ($10,695)
Nivel 29
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Nicolae Paunescu opened the button and Nikolay Ponomarev three-bet from the small blind to 625,000, leaving himself just a few chips back. When it got back to Paunescu, he shoved, and after a little tank, Ponomarev called.
Nikolay Ponomarev: K♦10♦ 
Nicolae Paunescu: K♣Q♥
Ponomarev was at risk and trailing the superior hand of his opponent. A flop of 4♠J♠J♥ did bring around some chop opportunities, and the 3♠ added a few more. However, the 8♦ was a brick, which meant Ponomarev was out in 13th.
