Level 21
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
After doubling up Mike Sexton, Haralabos Voulgaris was in the big blind and put his entire stack in the middle as his post, basically saying to the table that he wasn't folding.

From the hijack seat, Connor Drinan raised to 120,000. Voulgaris moved all in from the big blind for a little over 200,000 total, and Drinan called. Voulgaris tabled the

flop kept Voulgaris in the lead, but the on the turn set him back as Drinan vaulted to the front with a pair of nines. The river completed the board with the 
and also completed the tournament for Voulgaris. He was eliminated in 26th place, sending the rest of the tournament onto the official bubble.
