Paul Lagan Eliminated in 16th Place ($13,935)

Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Kirill Shcherbakov opened from the cutoff to 125,000 and Paul Lagan shoved from the small blind for 790,000. Shcherbakov got a count from the dealer then flicked in the call.
Paul Lagan: 7?5?
Kirill Shcherbakov: K?Q?
Lagan had tried making a move against the chip leader, but he still had live cards and hearts working for him. The Q?3?7? flop gave both players a pair, but it was Shcherbakov who was in the lead with top pair. The rest of the board ran out 10?4? to give Shcherbakov a flush, sending Lagan to the cashier's desk.
