No Final Table for Merzhvinskiy This Time
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The board read 
when Ranno Sootla had defended his big blind after Aleksandr Merzhvinskiy had opened from the middle position. After a check-call on the flop and a check on the turn, Merzhvinskiy shoved and Sootla called with the slightly bigger stack.
Aleksandr Merzhvinskiy: 
Ranno Sootla: 
Merzhvinskiy had the overpair while Sootla had turned a straight to leave Merzhvinskiy drawing dead.
The river completed the board with the 
as a formality as Merzhvinskiy was sent to the rail, missing out on a final table as he finished in third place right here in Prague last year for �631,500.
