On a heads-up turn of 10♠6♠2♣3♣, Vladyslav Shovkovyi led out for 60,000 from the small blind and was called by June Lara to see the river 8♥.

Shovkovyi then announced he was all, covering Lara, who quickly made the call to put himself at risk. 

"I have two-pair," Shovkovyi announced as he tabled 8♠2♠. 

"Wow," Lara sighed as his 6♣5♠ was tabled and he was eliminated from the tournament while Shovkovyi raked in a substantial pot. 

Shovkovyi - 540,000
Lara - 0
