Kurt Paseka Eliminated in 15th Place ($21,278)

On a flop of {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Spades} Kurt Paseka moved all in for 90,000, Tommy Vu called from the cutoff, and Amir Vahedi re-raised all in for over 600,000. After moving all in, Vahedi got out of his chair and began pacing while Vu went into the tank for several minutes. Vu cringed and pulled his hair while trying to make a decision and eventually a clock was called on him.

As the floor counted down Vu's last seconds to make a decision, he pulled a coin out of his pocked and declared "heads, I call, tails I fold." Vu flipped the coin, it came up tails, and he folded.

Paseka showed the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, behind to Vahedi's set of fives. The turn was the {9-Clubs}, but the river was the {K-Spades}, which would have made Vu the nut flush. Needless to say, Vu wasn't too happy about that. Paseka was eliminated on the hand.

Vahedi is up to 1,020,000 and remains the chip leader.
