Istvan Birizdo Eliminated in 14th Place ($29,000)
Level 19
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Istvan Birizdo raised from middle position to 60,000, and Alex Kulev three-bet the cutoff to 165,000. Birizdo jammed for around 900,000 when it got back to him, and Kulev quickly called.
Istvan Birizdo: J♥J♠ 
Alex Kulev: A♥K♥
Birizdo's pocket jacks stayed ahead through the 10♣6♥4♣ flop and 6♣ turn. Kulev needed to connect with the river, and he managed to do so when the K♦ rolled off to give him a pair of kings.
Kulev's stack grew to over four million, and Birizdo was gone in 14th place.
