John DuBois Wins a Three-Way All-In; Nikita Kalinin Out 24th; Ido Ashkenazi Out 23rd

Photo:  Starting the hand with a lower pair, Nikita Kalinin (left) was a longshot to survive, while Ido Ashkenazi (right) reacts to being outflopped by DuBois.

Ido Ashkenazi raises from the hijack to 75,000, John DuBois calls from the cutoff, and Nikita Kalinin moves all in from the button for 320,000. Ashkenazi moves all in over the top for about 1.38 million, and DuBois calls, slightly covering Ashkenazi.

Here are their cards in descending order of chip counts:

John DuBois:  
Ido Ashkenazi:  
Nikita Kalinin:  

The board comes , and DuBois pairs his queen on the flop to win the pot and eliminate both players on the same hand. Because Ashkenazi started the hand with more chips than Kalinin, he receives the higher finishing place.

John DuBois  –  3,200,000  (107 bb)
Ido Ashkenazi  –  Eliminated in 23rd Place  ($17,830)
Nikita Kalinin  –  Eliminated in 24th Place  ($17,830)
