Selim Oulmekki Eliminated in 4th Place ($251,267)

Just when we thought things couldn't get any more crazy up in here, Selim Oulmekki has just been sent to the rail in fourth place by Hasan Anter, who now holds more than 11.5 million in chips!

Oulmekki raised to 175,000 from the button and Anter called from the big blind before both players checked the flop of {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}. Anter then bet 300,000 on the turn of the {9-Clubs}, Oulmekki shoved and Anter snap-called.

Anter: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Oulmekki: {J-Spades}{8-Spades}

Despite both players having paired up, Anter was way out in front and with both players holding a chack, Oulmekki's only hope was an eight. The only problem was that Anter made trips with the {Q-Hearts} - thus endeth his tournament life.
