Jamie Flynn Eliminated in 25th Place ($6,400); Aleksejs Ponakovs Eliminated in 26th Place ($6,400)
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Walid Mubarak opened 40,000 under the gun and Aleksejs Ponakovs called from a couple of spots to his left.
The dealer fanned the J♦J♠9♥ flop and Mubarak continued for 35,000. Ponakovs only had 1,000 remaining and made the call to put himself at risk.
Aleksejs Ponakovs: Q♥10♥ 
Walid Mubarak: A♥K♠
Ponakovs was looking to improve with an open-ended straight draw but the 6♠ turn and the 4♣ river were no help as he exited the tournament in 26th place.
Also eliminated at a different table was Jamie Flynn, taking home $6,400 for 25th place.
