Sokolovsky Loses a Flip to Bust

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Alexander Sokolovsky had been left with just 19,000 and, when it folded to him in the hijack, committed the last of his chips. The player in the cutoff made the call.

Alexander Sokolovsky: A♣8♣ All in
Cutoff: 6♣6♦

Sokolovsky needed to connect with the board to get his Day 1a comeback underway.

It wasn't to be, however, as his opponent's pocket sixes held through the 5♠9♣10♦7♦Q♥ runout, sending Sokolovsky to the rail.
