Oleg Netaliev Eliminated in 18th Place ($8,600)

Niveau 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Yunsheng Sun opened to 125,000 from the cutoff before it folded to Oleg Netaliev in the small blind who moved all in for 910,000. It folded back to Sun who sat in the tank for almost four minutes before eventually flicking in a call to put Netaliev at risk.

The cards hit their backs.

Oleg Netaliev: A♠J♦
Yunsheng Sun: 9♣9♠

It was a standard flip until the dealer fanned out the A♥6♣A♦ flop and Netaliev rocketed into the lead. Then out of nowhere the 9♦ drilled the turn and Sun moved into a commanding lead. Netaliev still had some outs going to the river but the 2♣ was not one of them.

Netaliev hit the rail at the hands of Sun who held about a sixth of the chips in play with just 16 players remaining.

Nikolay Ponomarev: A♦10♣
Bernard Boutboul: A♠K♣
