Vladimir Schemelev Falls to Bring the Bubble
When the table folded around to the blinds, Vladimir Shchemelev looked down at 
and shoved his last ~55,000 into the pot. The last man to get through, big blind Matt Waxman squeezed out 
, though, and he quickly made the call with a chance at the knockout.
Shchemelev drew a gutterball on the 
flop, and the 
on the turn added another set of outs as he now had the diamonds to sweat, as well. The river was the black 
, though, and Waxman superfluously improved to the full house to earn the knockout.
So then, it's Shchemelev out in 18th place, and the 17 who remain are now playing hand-for-hand on the direct bubble. The next man out gets nothing except the proverbial wooden spoon.
