Ali Amirfatahi Eliminated in 22nd Place ($15,000)
Adil Tlimisov raised to 250,000 under the gun with Ali Amirfatahi calling from the cutoff, and Nicolas Chouity defending his big blind.
On the J♠2♥4♥ flop, Chouity started out with a check. Tlimisov bet 275,000, which only Amirfatahi called.
The 10♠ appeared on the turn, and Tlimisov fired out a second bet of 750,000. Amirfatahi took a while before deciding to make the call again.
The A♦ rolled off on the river, which caused Tlimisov to put Amirfatahi all in for his remaining 2,500,000. Amirfatahi burned through a few of his time bank cards before he stood up and slammed in the call.
Tlimisov showed K♥Q♣, and had backdoored into the nut straight. Amirfatahi only had A♥6♥ for a pair of aces, and he headed to the cashier's desk to collect his 22nd-place payout.
