Vladimir Minko Eliminated in 10th Place ($164,900)
Vladimir Minko raised to 1,000,000 from the cutoff and found a caller in Frank Brannan in the big blind before seeing the flop come 2♥7♠9♣.
Brannan checked over to Minko who continued with a bet for 600,000 only to see Brannan reach into his stack and come back out with a check raise to 1,500,000.
Minko paused for a moment but didn't need much time before deciding on jamming for 4,300,000 only to see Branna put in the snap-call to set up a runout with Minko the player at risk.
Vladimir Minko: J♦10♥
Frank Brannan: A♠A♥
Minko quickly got the bad news that Brannan had trapped with aces and would need to hit his gut-shot straight draw or go runner-runner to come from behind and extend his tournament run, but when the board ran out with the 4♠ and 5♠, Minko would be forced to stand up and exit the the tournament in 10th place for $164,900.
