Oleksii Kovalchuk eliminated by Erik Cajelais

Level 15: 1,500-3,000, 500 ante

Two World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet holders have clashed and one of them has suffered a fatal wound.

Oleksii Kovalchuk opens the action with a raise and Cajelais defends his big blind. The flop is Jx Tx 8x (two spades) and both players check. The turn is the 5x and Cajelais check-jams and Kovalchuk calls with pocket queens. Cajelais turns over 7 4 for the flush draw and gutshot. The dealer burns and turns the river and it is the T sending Kovalchuk to the rail and Cajelais to the top of the chip counts.
