Level 14
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Mark Saad and Sarkis Akopyan were just involved in a pot of roughly 3,400,000, after the two got all-in preflop. The cards were turned over, with Saad being at risk of elimination.
Mark Saad: 9♦9♥ 
Sarkis Akopyan: A♠10♣
It was a flip that was crucial for both players, but when the flop came down Q♠J♠K♣, Saad was almost drawing dead as Akopyan had flopped the nuts. The rest of the board came 3♥3♠, and Akopyan eliminated Saad.
