Paul Michaelis Eliminated in 9th Place ($10,000)
Level 28
: 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Claudio Di Giacomo raised from early position and Paul Michaelis three-bet jammed from the small blind for what looked like 23,000,000. Di Giacomo quickly called.
Di Giacomo: 
Michaelis: 
Michaelis was way behind with the smaller pocket pair and needed a lot of help from the deck in order to survive. The flop came 
and although Michaelis picked up an open-ended straight draw on the 
turn, Di Giacomo was still best after the 
fell on the river, so he took the pot to send Michaelis to the cage.
