Cristian Dragomir Eliminated in 29th Place ($193,000)

Cristian Dragomir - 29th Place
Cristian Dragomir - 29th Place
Ivan Demidov raised to 225,000 from middle position and Joe Bishop called from the cutoff. When action got to Cristian Dragomir in the small blind, he moved all in for just over 1,500,000.

Demidov folded but Bishop called instantly. The players showed:

Bishop: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}
Dragomir: {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds}

Dragomir was in bad shape and needed help from the community cards to stay alive. After multiple dramatic pauses for the sake of the television cameras, the board finished {Q-Hearts} {6-Spades} {2-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {J-Hearts} and Dragomir's hand was second-best. He was eliminated in 29th place and pushed his chips over to Bishop, who now sits on about 3,800,000 in chips.
