Italo Modena Eliminated in 9th Place ($63,000)
Level 30
: Blinds 750,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante
When it folded to Italo Modena in the hijack, he jammed for 11,200,000. Timothy Chung called from the small blind and Modena was at risk of being the first elimination at the final table.
Italo Modena: K♠9♥ 
Timothy Chung: K♥Q♥
Modena was dominated by Chung's king-queen and looked likely to be headed to the cashier's desk very shortly.
The flop came down 5♣3♥J♠, which didn't change anything, and neither did the A♣ turn. The river was the K♣ and Modena was out in 9th.
