Sakis Adrianopoulos Eliminated in 8th Place ($35,000)
Level 29
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Sakis Adrianopoulos jammed for 1,385,000 from the hijack and Aren Bezhanyan called from the small blind. Xuming Qi looked at his cards in the big blind and immediately jammed for Bezhanyan's remaining 2,750,000. Bezhanyan went into the tank for a while before he reluctantly folded and showed 8x8x.
Sakis Adrianopoulos: K♥Q♠
Xuming Qi: A♣A♥
Adrianopoulos was in rough shape against the aces of Qi. But if he found a way to win, he would triple his stack.
The board of 9♦10♦2♥7♦2♦ was clean for Qi's aces, as neither player held a diamond. The pot was pushed to Qi, and Adrianopoulos exited in eighth.
