Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
![Iurii Saiapin](https://s.pnimg.net/FKn7YKT6vQgtgrFmwAuTUtlSTp9B5qFJ8KaOMAkPg1w/pr:reporting-leading-desktop/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbmlt/Zy5uZXQvbHJlcC8y/MTY1LzQwL3hhOWM4/ZGUwOTMxLmpwZw.webp)
Iurii Saiapin opened to 120,000 from early position and Nichan Khorchidian shoved with the covering stack from the big blind. Saiapin had around 1,300,000 in his stack and after a few moments made the call to put himself at risk.
Iurii Saiapin: A?Q?
Nichan Khorchidian: A?K?
Saiapin was in terrible shape and needed a queen to stay alive. The board ran out K?K?2?Q?7? to give Khorchidian the winner with trip kings, and Saiapin was headed for the cashier's desk.
At another table Ion-Silviu Scobai was seen leaving his seat and has been eliminated from the tournament.
