Kayhan Mokri raised to 250,000 from the hijack. Mikita Badziakouski three-bet to 2,000,000, leaving just 25,000 behind. It folded back around to Mokri, who called.
Action was paused until the hand at the other table was finished, and the cards were turned over.
Mikita Badziakouski: A♦10♥
Kayhan Mokri: 9♣9♦
The K♥5♦2♥ flop changed nothing and the K♦ had Badziakouski down to his last six outs. The river was the 7♠ and Badziakouski was eliminated. The remaining nine players are drawing for seats around the final table.
There will be a short delay before final table play gets underway.
