Alexandru Lupuleac Eliminated in 19th Place ($8,020)
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
As the other players were heading on break, Alexandru Lupuleac made it 600,000 to go on the button, leaving himself around 200,000 behind. Danielle Noja then immediately shoved from the small blind, and after an unsuccessful ladder hunt, Lupuleac called.
Alexandru Lupuleac: A♠7♦ 
Danielle Noja: A♣K♣
It didn't look good for Lupuleac, who lost one of his outs on the 9♣J♥4♣ flop as Noja picked up a flush draw. A Q♣ on the turn ended the hand right there as Noja completed his flush, and even had a sweat for a Royal. However, the 5♥ river didn't bring in the rarest hand in poker, but still meant Lupuleac was out in 20th.
