Kenneth Hirose Eliminated in 7th Place ($7,350)
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Michael Starek was second to act and opened to 225,000. Kenneth Hirose shoved for 830,000 from the big blind and was called by Starek to be at risk.
Kenneth Hirose: A♦J♥
Michael Starek: K♣Q♣
Hirose was ahead, and the flop kept it that way when it came A♣9♥Q♠ to give both players a pair.
The 2♠ was a blank, but the river was a disaster for Hirose as the K♠ hit the river to award Starek two pair and the pot.
Hirose earned $7,350 for his seventh-place finish.
