Avi Cohen Eliminated in 43rd Place ($237,865)

Hevad "Rain" Khan had made it 150,000 to go from early position and got three callers before the action got around to Avi Cohen sitting in the big blind. Cohen thought for a minute before moving all in for a total of 2,100,000 in chips. Khan was the lone caller and he turned over {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}; Avi revealed {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and would need to get lucky to stay alive.

The flop came {10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}, at which point Dag Martin Mikkelsen stood up and asked, "Why'd you have to go and squeeze? (referring to Cohen's push) I had twos," he added.

The turn and river came {Q-Spades} and {K-Diamonds}, and the animated Khan let out another roar, adding, "I'm good at basketball," to the end of his off-the-wall celebration.

Cohen picked up $237,865 for his 43rd-place finish.
