Arkadiy “Kamsky” Tsinis

Tsinis: {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Blanovsky: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

From the button  Tsinis moved all in and Michael Blanovsky quickly made the call for just shy of 2,000,000

With Blanovsky in the lead , he would catch a pair on the flop as the dealer spread the {5-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}.   This flop gave  Tsinis the maximum outs (excluding four-card flushes) as any king, queen, jack or eight would see him take the lead.

The dealer then turned  the {8-Clubs}  Tsinis spikes an unbeatable straight as the  {8-Hearts}  was turned on the river .

 Blankovsky  second place for a $336,253

Arkadiy Tsinis  wins $540,136 and  a  WSOP  Gold Bracelet
