Sergei Petrushevskii Eliminated in 9th Place ($101,700)
In the very first hand of the final table on the old blinds still, Punnat Punsri min-raised to 1,200,000 and Sergei Petrushevskii three-bet to 5,100,000 in the big blind. Punsri used one time bank extension and called.
The flop came K♥5♠3♠ and Petrushevskii continued for 2,400,000, picking up a call from Punsri ahead of the 8♠ turn. Petrushevskii had 7,200,000 behind and needed some additional time for his next move, using two time bank extensions. He then pushed all-in and Punsri beat him into the pot.
Sergei Petrushevskii: A♦K♣ 
Punnat Punsri: A♥A♠
Upon showdown, Petrushevskii already started gathering his belongings and taking off the microphone even before the 7♦ on the river ended his run. He takes home $101,700 and Punsri joined the chip leaders.
