Max Itkin Eliminated in 14th Place ($13,980)

Our chip leader is still pounding away, and we picked up this pot as Jamil Wakil opened to 42,000 in early position. Max Itkin defended his big blind with a short stack, and off they went to a heads-up flop.

It came out {J-Hearts} {9-Spades} {K-Hearts}, and Itkin checked to the raiser. When Wakil bet another 62,000, though, he check-raised all in for 280,000, and Wakil made the call with a chance at another knockout. He was well in front.

Showdown
Itkin: {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts}
Wakil: {K-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}

Itkin was drawing slim to survive, and he'd not be able to catch up to Wakil's top pair. The turn and river came {3-Spades} and {6-Clubs}, respectively, and that's the end of the line for another of our players. Itkin is out in 14th, and there's another all-in-and-a-call in progress as we type.
