Alexandr Tikholiz Eliminated in 9th Place ($10,500)

Alex Tikholiz - 9th Place
Alex Tikholiz - 9th Place
We've found our first elimination of the final table. Short-stacked Alexandr Tikholiz open-shoved from the button. After Phillip Willcocks passed in the small blind, Dong-bin Han called from the big blind.

Tikholiz: {A-Spades} {8-Hearts}
Han: {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades}

Han was pumped to see that he was in the lead. A flop of {7-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {A-Hearts} gave a minor sweat, however, as it raised the specter of a chopped pot with a board pair. The {5-Spades} gave Tikholiz a few more chop outs. The board did pair on the river, but it was the {A-Clubs}. Each player made trip aces, but Han's kicker played.

Tikholiz leaves with $10,500 in prize money.
