Zaen Qatan Eliminated in 12th Place ($3,583)
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Facing a raise in late position from Zaen Qatan, James Urbanic three-bet from the small blind. Zaen Qatan then went all in for just under 2,000,000 in chips, which was quickly called by Urbanic.
Zaen Qatan: A♦K♣
James Urbanic: A♥A♠
Urbanic preemptively celebrated but did, indeed, have to sweat the board when the flop rolled the K♣8♣J♦.
However, the 6♣ on the turn and the 9♥ on the river catapult him into contention for the chiplead.
Zaen Qatan had the run of his life and did his best to remind PokerNews of his Iraqi heritage, proud that he could share this run with his family.
