Dhiya Majeed - 17th Place

A single pot has resulted in a double elimination by Steve Topakas. The recently-crippled Dhiya Majeed opened the pot from the button with an all-in raise. He had barely put his chips into the middle when Thomas Lindbjerg, the small blind, announced that he was all in. Before he could even finish his sentence, Topakas moved all in over both of them.

Majeed: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

Lindbjerg: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{3-Hearts}

Topakas:

{K-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

There was a bit of a sweat for Topakas when the flop came {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

, giving Majeed an inside straight draw. But it was no worries for Topakas when the board completed {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{Q-Diamonds}

. Topakas eliminated both players, and since Majeed was the shorter stack he was deemed to be the 17th-place finisher.
