Walid Fahmy Eliminated in 13th Place ($7,300); Michael Persky Eliminated in 14th Place ($7,300)
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Walid Fahmy went all-in for 625,000 from early position before Michael Persky went all-in himself for 350,000 on the button. Jason Beahm opted to call both opponents from the small blind, putting Fahmy and Persky at risk.
Michael Persky: Q♥Q♣
Walid Fahmy: K♠10♦
Jason Beahm: A♣Q♦
Persky enjoyed the lead preflop, but that changed in a hurry as it was an ace in the window when the flop came A♥3♠2♥ to pull Beahm well ahead of both opponents.
Fahmy turned some life when the K♥ came, but the 4♠ river sealed the deal as Beahm secured the double knockout on the first hand back from dinner break.
