flop looked good for him. Then the

Vidojkovic's Downfall Completed
Level 33
: 300,000/600,000, 100,000 ante
Stefan Vidojkovic was among the tournament chip leaders coming to the final three tables but a streak of bad results saw him bust in 22nd place.
Following a big pot he lost against James Duff as we reported below, Vidojkovic doubled Carl DiVeglia III for just under 4 million. DiVeglia III made Broadway with on 
and Vidojkovic's hand was mucked by the time we arrived.
Vidojkovic was down to crumbs and he put his last 1,175,000 in play when he was in big blind, following Mark Frimodt's under-the-gun-raise to 900,000 and Jordan Perrin's flat-call in the hijack. Both players called the change and Perrin then fired 2,000,000 on the 
flop, getting rid of Frimodt.
Vidojkovic:
Perrin: 
Perrin hit the bottom set but Vidojkovic still had a decent shot with an open-ender and a backdoor flush draw. The turn and river gave him trips but it wasn't enough and Vidojkovic took a picture of the board and hole cards before exiting the tournament area.
