Former Champion Panka Eliminated

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Ali Tariq opened and Dominik Panka three-bet all in for 130,000. Tariq called.

Ali Tariq: {j-Spades}{k-Spades}
Dominik Panka: {8-}{8-}

It was a flip that the former EPT champion would have to win if he wanted to win another EPT title. However the {k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} flop gave his opponent a pair. The {4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} run out didn't help Panka, and Tariq chipped up over a million.
