Vitalijs Zavorotnijs Eliminated in 23rd Place ($22,200)
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Abdullah Akbarpoor raised to 30,000 in middle position and Vitalijs Zavorotnijs three-bet to 100,000 in the cutoff. Akbarpoor then four-bet to 250,000, Zavorotnijs moved all in for 600,000, and Akbarpoor practically beat him into the pot. "Oh my gosh," tablemate Jen Shahade said about the speed with which Akbarpoor called.
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs: A♣K♥ 
Abdullah Akbarpoor: A♠A♥
Akbarpoor had good reason for optimism as he turned over two aces. The 6♦4♦5♣10♣5♦ board offered no help to Zavorotnijs, and he was sent to the rail in 23rd place.
