Jimmy D'Ambrosio raised 110,000 from the cutoff with 5,000 remaining in his stack. Aram Zobian then went all in from the small blind. D'Ambrosio called and was at risk.
Jimmy D'Ambrosio: A♦J♦
Aram Zobian: K♥10♥
The board ran out K♦9♥2♠8♣9♦ eliminating D'Ambrosio from Event #94 after an impressive run. D'Ambrosio tablemates were sad to see him go as he was facilitating many interesting conversations at table #512.

Fahredin Mustafov bagged a whopping 3,300,000 and leads the pack heading into tomorrow. The Bulgarian native has over $6,000,000 in live tournament earnings and several cashes this summer. His two best scores this WSOP include a tenth place in Event #28: $1,500 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em, which was good for a $30,304 payday.
