Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The pot had already swelled to over 900,000 with the full board reading 3♣4♥J♠6♣J♥. Karen Nazarian, in the big blind, moved all in for 400,000 and his tournament life. Alfred Nader, in middle position, went into the tank.

Nader thought for some time before making the call. Nazarian tabled K♥9♦ for just king high, while Nader slammed 5♦5♠ onto the felt, claiming one of the biggest pots of this tournament and sending Nazarian to the rail with just a pair of fives.

The action fell on Sonny Franco, in the big blind. Franco went into the tank, watching the tournament clock out of courtesy for Ghazarian. Thinking for several minutes, the player count did not budge and Franco chose to fold.

Harout Ghazarian: Q♠9♣
Johnny Nedved: A♣A♥

Despite Franco and Ghazarian's best efforts, the board ran out K♣7♦10♥7♦7♣ and he was eliminated in 72nd place.

Nível 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Roger Abed open-jammed for 250,000 from the hijack and was called by Oleg Furman from the cutoff. Aziz Efe then rejammed from the small blind and folded out Furman.

Roger Abed: K♣Q♥
Aziz Efe: 9♠9♦

Furman seemed to fume that he folded when seeing the cards, as he said he had Ax10x. However, he soon breathed a sigh of relief as Efe made a full house in the 9♣7♥7♣ fllop. The 4♥ turn and 7♦ river was just a formality and Abed's exit was confirmed.
