Gha Iakobishvili Eliminated in 8th Place ($200,000)
Level 18
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
On the first hand after the money bubble burst, Thomas Eychenne raised the button to 400,000 and Gha Iakobishvili jammed for 2,140,000 out of the big blind. Eychenne snap-called.
Gha Iakobishvili: K♣6♣ 
Thomas Eychenne: 9♠9♦
Eychenne's pair of nines were currently in the lead, and Iakobishvili needed to find a king or some clubs on the runout to stay alive.
The J♣J♥8♦ flop wasn't helpful for Iakobishvili, although he picked up some counterfeit outs on the Q♦ turn. A 7♠ completed the board, keeping Eychenne's pair ahead, and Iakobishvili headed to the rail in eighth place.
