Tony Zharnitsky Eliminated in 17th Place ($23,298)
Level 39
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Tony Zharnitsky was forced all in by the mandatory posting of the big blind for his last 2,000,000. Kfir Nahum opened under the gun to 4,100,000 finding a caller in Bien Nguyen on the button.
With Zharnitsky all in blind, the main pot was set aside, while there still remained action on the side between the remaining players.
On a flop of 6♥6♠3♠, Nahum continued for 5,000,000. In response, Nguyen raised large enough to force a fold from Nahum, winning the side pot and getting the hand to a showdown.
Tony Zharnitsky: K♥5♦
Bien Nguyen: 8♥8♠
The turn and river came the 5♥ and the 6♠ respectively and Zharnitsky exited in 17th place.
