   …..Hand#102 Kitai moves all in, and Skripchenko calls with A2. Kitai turns over Q3, and Skripchenko is a slight favorite to double up here.

   The board comes AJ3QK — Skripchenko flops a pair of aces, but Kitai turns two pair, queens and threes to win the hand — and the tournament.($100,000)

   ……Hand #7: Dinara Khaziyeva Eliminated in 6th Place ($5,000)

   Almira Skripchenko moves all in from the small blind for 1.2 million, and Dinara Khaziyeva thinks for about 30 seconds before she calls with 10 2. Skripchenko turns over A10, and Khaziyeva is dominated as she faces elimination.
   The board comes AK86J, and Skripchenko wins the pot with a pair of aces to eliminate Khaziyeva in sixth place.

   Prize listed below to the winners…….
   1st: Davidi Kitai – $100,000
   2nd: Almira Skripchenko – $50,000
   3rd: Dan Heimiller – $20,000
   4th: George Rechnitzer – $15,000
   5th: Damon Schramm – $10,000
