Solovjev Drowned on the River
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Action folded to Alex Solovjev on the button and he opened for 30,000. The small blind folded, and then Mike Deis, who will take over the MSPT Season 5 Player of the Year lead thanks to his deep run, moved all in from the big blind. Solovjev had the smaller stack and thought for about 30 seconds before calling off for around 120,000 total.
Solovjev: 
Deis: 
Solovjev got it in good, and it looked as if he would double as both the 
flop and 
turn failed to help Deis. All Solovjev had to do was dodge a king and ten on the river, but that proved easier said than done as the 
spiked to give Deis the win. Solovjev was left shaking his head and to settle for 29th place.
