It's the 21st level of PokerStars Russian Poker Series Kyiv Main Event, with blinds at 8,000-16,000 and a 2,000 ante. All players are playing with extreme caution (everybody wants to be on the final table).
17th place ($8,050) went to Yakov Nepomnyashchiy. Yakov moved all-in pre-flop with K-4, and received a call from Nikolay Chorny, who had pocket kings. No miracle - kings won.
16th place went to Team PokerStars Pro Ivan Demidov. He went all-in pre-flop with a pair of kings and Mark Kitov answered the call with A-Q, hitting an ace on the turn. Two of three Team PokerStars Pro (Demidov and Shcherbakov) finished in money. Congratulations!
15th place went to Evgeniy Taranyuk who couldn't stand in all-in battle against Vlad Zguba - Q-T lost to A-J.
