Andrey Plotnikov eliminated in 8th place

After being crippled by Justin Young, Andrey Plotnikov was able to score a double and even picked up the blinds and antes after moving all-in and fading a call. It wasn’t long before he met his fate at the hands of start-of-day chip leader Hyoung Chae, though.

Plotnikov opened to 200,000, Chae three-bet to 2,000,000 and Plotnikov got his last 1,315,000 in the pot holding queens yet again — QsQd. He was in rough shape agains the AsAc of Chae. The runout came KcTh6s5hKd and Plotnikov busted 8th earning $87,880.

All remaining players are now assured a six-figure payday. Remaining payouts:
