Konnikova's Snowmen Eliminate Meladze
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
With roughly 9,000 in the pot, on a flop of 6?3?8?, Merab Meladze shoved for 11,000 with Maria Konnikova calling to put him at risk from the button.
Merab Meladze: 9?8? 
Maria Konnikova: 8?8?
Meladze needed runner-runner to stay alive. He found some help on the 10? turn, but the Q? river didn't improve his hand and Konnikova's set of eights would eliminate him from the tournament.
