Dauren Zhaparov Eliminated in 15th Place ($17,875)
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
More than 1,000,000 was already in the pot as Ramon Kropmanns and Dauren Zhaparov went heads-up to the turn on a board of 7♠K♠5♦3♦.
Kropmanns then bet 535,000 from early position and Zhaparov called in the small blind. The river came the A♠ and Kropmanns slid forward a tower of bumblebee 100,000 chips, enough to put Zhaparov all in.
Zhaparov tanked for several minutes until the clock was finally called. He allowed the countdown to go down to the final 10 seconds before putting in his last 1,000,000, showing 7♥6♠ for a pair of sevens.
Kropmans, though, had 5♠3♥ for two pair to win the pot and send Zhaparov to the rail in 15th place.
