Tim Baker

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Vitalii Pankov got his stack of 750,000 into the middle from the button, with Yurii Zabrodotskyi looking to bust him from the small blind.

Vitalii Pankov: A♥Q♠ All in
Yurii Zabrodotskyi: 5♦5♠

It was a flip that Pankov needed to win, but he was unable to do so as the board ran out 8♣8♠2♦K♥3♦, bringing his Merit Poker Cup run to an end.

At a nearby table, Georges Ghossan was seen heading to the rail after also being eliminated from the tournament.
