Level 39 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Under the gun, Ruslan Volkov opened to 1,600,000. The other players folded to David Hu, who moved all in for 21,500,000 chips. Darko Svesko in the big blind folded, and Volkov snap-called.

Ruslan Volkov: A?A?
David Hu: A?Q?

Hu hit a pair of queens on the flop Q?2?5?, but Volkov remained in the lead with his aces. The turn 2? gave a flush draw to Hu, who was lucky enough to complete this flush on the river 8?.

What a bad beat for Volkov, who saw his aces getting cracked by a runner-runner flush. Despite the unfortunate way he was eliminated, Ruslan Volkov won $115,100 for his 6th place.
