"wheels4920" Falls in 8th Place

In Level 39 with blinds at 180,000/360,000/45,000, "benedi27" raised to 720,000 from the cutoff and "wheels4920" three-bet to 2,187,500 from the small blind.

Action folded back to "benedi27" who moved all in for 10,389,736 and "wheels4920" called off their 9,264,438 stack.

"benedi27": {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
"wheels4920": {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

It was a classic race with "wheels4920" needing to pair either of their two over cards to stay alive, but the feat was easier said then done as the board ran out {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} ending their tournament in eighth place for $4,238.40.
