Bezhanyan Busts in the Biggest Pot of the Tournament So Far
Aren Bezhanyan just got eliminated in what was the biggest pot of the tournament so far.
As recalled by another player at the table, Bezhanyan opened the cutoff before Christopher Puetz three-bet out of the small blind. Bezhanyan put out a four-bet, which saw Puetz flat call.
The A♦10♦6♠ flop checked through for the Q♦ to roll off on the turn. Puetz bet, and Bezhanyan shoved over the top for about 1,500,000. Putz snap-called.
Aren Bezhanyan: Q♠Q♣ 
Christopher Puetz: 6♦5♦
The turn card improved Bezhanyan to a set, but also upgraded Puetz's hand to a flush. Bezhanyan still could win the pot of around 5,000,000 if the board paired on the river.
The dealer burned a card, then dropped the K♦ on the river, cementing Bezhanyan's elimination. Bezhanyan headed to the cashier's desk, and Puetz moved up to around 5,700,000.
