Double elimination! Evgeny Kurilenko soars to 2M


The biggest takedown of the day has just taken place with Evgeny Kurilenko denying two players a Final 8 berth. One of them was big stacked Yoichi Uesugi. Action began with utg Sony Liang Liang all in, Uesugi shoving from utg+1, then cutoff Kurilenko with his monster stack joining the party.
