Samuel Mullur

Hand 183 Samuel Mullur limped in from the button and Ivan Govorov raised to 2,500,000 in the big blind. Mullur then shoved for around 18,000,000, and Govorov snap-called!

Samuel Mullur: A 4

Ivan Govorov: A K

Govorov was on the brink of history and would be the Main Event champion if his Big Slick could hold up.

A flop of 8 Q 8 was safe for Govorov, but did bring around some chop possibilities as any queen would give both players the same hand. The 9 turn added a few more chop outs, but Govorov still held a huge lead with one card to come.

All eyes were fixed on the board when the dealer burned and turned the K , which meant Mullur was eliminated in second.
