Majid Shahikarijani Eliminated in 3rd Place (A$40,500)
Level 36
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
The action was on Michael O'Grady on the button and he just shoved for around 65,000,000. Majid Shahikarijani was in the small blind and snap-called for his stack of 24,000,000. Andrew Samoa was in the big blind and after he looked at his cards, he called for around 10,000,000!
Andrew Samoa: K♠K♥ 
Majid Shahikarijani: A♥9♠
Michael O'Grady: A♦K♣
Samoa was in a great spot to triple up but O'Grady could secure the title right now if his Big Slick could find a way to win the hand. The flop of 5♠8♦10♠ didn't change much but it was Shahikarijani who picked up equity on the 7♥ turn with an open-ended straight draw. However, the 8♠ river was anti-climatic, which meant Shahikarijani was eliminated, Samoa tripled up, and O'Grady took the side pot.
