Ilya Dyment Eliminated in 9th Place ($19,674)

Level 31 : 80,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Ilya Dyment
Ilya Dyment

A battle between the blinds saw an open from Benson Tang for 480,000, then Ilya Dyment (bb) jammed. Tang snapped, tabling {a-Spades}{q-Spades}. Dyment's {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} was dominated.

The board fell {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and although it was all low cards as Dyment requested, they failed to improved his hand. Tang's ace-queen took the pot unimproved and he's now playing north of 14 million, once again in the chip lead.

Ilya Dyment hit the rail in 9th place, earning $19,674.
