Flight F Players Remaining:  72 of 281

The player under the gun raised to 6,000, the player in the hijack three-bet all in for 21,000, and Dimitry Agrachov called from the cutoff. The player in the big blind called, as did the UTG raiser.

The flop was Kc7h8c and action checked to Agrachov who bet 40,000. The big blind called, the UTG player folded, and the 9d turn fell. The big blind checked, Agrachov bet effectively 36,000 and the big blind called all in with AcJc for a flush draw and straight draw.

Agrashov showed AsKd for a pair of kings, while the player in the hijack showed Ad10h for an open-ended straight draw.

The river was the 3s, safe for Agrachov to score the double elimination

Dimitry Agrachov  –  392,000  (196 bb)
