Vladimir Minko Eliminated in 10th Place ($164,900)
Vladimir Minko raised to 1,000,000 from the cutoff and found a caller in Frank Brannan in the big blind before seeing the flop come 2?7?9?.
Brannan checked over to Minko who continued with a bet for 600,000 only to see Brannan reach into his stack and come back out with a check raise to 1,500,000.
Minko paused for a moment but didn't need much time before deciding on jamming for 4,300,000 only to see Branna put in the snap-call to set up a runout with Minko the player at risk.
Vladimir Minko: J?10?
Frank Brannan: A?A?
Minko quickly got the bad news that Brannan had trapped with aces and would need to hit his gut-shot straight draw or go runner-runner to come from behind and extend his tournament run, but when the board ran out with the 4? and 5?, Minko would be forced to stand up and exit the the tournament in 10th place for $164,900.
