Nikolay Traskevich Eliminated in 2nd Place (�45,750)

Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

On the very first hand of heads-up play, Nikolay Traskevich shoved from the button for 1,700,000 and Darius Neagoe snap-called.
Nikolay Traskevich: 9?7?
Darius Neagoe: 5?5?
If Neagoe could hold with pocket fives he would be the winner of the event. The flop of 5?9?8? put Neagoe firmly in the lead with a set of fives. The Q? turn did offer up a gutshot to Traskevich, but the 6? river meant Neagoe's set would hold up and he had won the tournament.
