Isle Poker Classic Event #8 (Day 2): Dmitry Agrachov Eliminated On The Bubble, Event #8 In The Money!!!

2018 Isle Poker Classic (Event #7)
$1,100 No Limit Hold'em Main Event
$200,000 GTD
Level 17 (Blinds 3,000/6,000/6,000)
Total Event #7 Entries: 244
Players Remaining: 31

Mihaly Lukacs (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) became everyone's favorite Event #8 player (for a moment), eliminating Dmitry Agrachov on the money bubble.

After sixteen hands on the bubble (hand-for-hand), players were on the final hand of Level 16 (with an announced break to follow).  At Table 3, action folded around to Dmitry Agrachov (on the button), who raised to 15,000.  Mihaly Lukacs three-bet to 30,000 out of the small blind, and after the big blind folded, Agrachov made the call.

The two would see a flop of K9♠ 8♣, with Lukacs immediately announcing himself all-in, putting Agrachov at a decision for his remaining stack (he had just under 100,000 left).  In what looked like frustration, Dmitry pushed his chips forward, signifying a call and putting himself at risk:


Lukacs: A K♠
Agrachov: K Q

Turn: 10♣
River: 10♠

With the board running out with two tens, both players would have kings-up, but Mihaly held the better kicker.  Dmitry quickly grabbed his backpack, and exited the table as the Event #8 "bubble boy."  Once play resumes in Level 17, everyone will be informed they are in the money, and guaranteed at least $1,648.
