Kortas Falls During Final Hands
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Conor O'Driscoll opened to 24,000 in the hijack. Ghattas Kortas committed his stack of 220,000 on the button, which Fabian Bartuschk called in the big blind.
O'Driscoll gave it some thought, but ultimately decided to get out of the way to force a showdown.
Ghattas Kortas: A♠J♥ 
Fabian Bartuschk: 10♠10♦
Kortas added a flush draw to his arsenal on the 9♥6♥K♥ flop, but the 3♦ turn and 9♠ river offered no further help, meaning Kortas said his goodbyes with just a few minutes to play on Day 3.
