Adrian State Eliminated in 5th Place ($81,000)
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Aren Bezhanyan raised the button to 500,000 and Adrian State jammed for roughly 4,000,000 from the big blind. Bezhanyan beat State into the pot with a call.
Adrian State: K♦10♦ 
Aren Bezhanyan: A♥A♠
State had run into the preflop nuts, and needed the dealer to give him some assistance to double up. The J♥6♥6♦ flop meant State needed running cards to win. The 9♦ turn gave State some hope, but the 6♣ river was no good for him.
Bezhanyan won the pot with a boat, and State headed to the cashier's desk to collect his fifth-place payout.
