Marty Zabib Eliminated in 35th Place ($236,921)

David Balkin opened to 220,000 and Marty Zabib re-raised all in for 1,360,000 from the small blind. Balkin called and the hands were tabled:

Balkin: {8-}{8-}
Zabib: {A-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Balkin retained his lead on the {J-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop. However, Zabib's rail went into a frenzy when the {A-Diamonds} struck the turn, giving Zabib the lead. He wouldn't hold it for long, though, as the {8-Clubs} peeled off on the river, giving Balkin a set of eights and enough to send Zabib to the rail.
