Hakeem Mashal Eliminated in 3rd Place ($165,944)
Level 39
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
The chips have been passed around in circles as each of them have taken their turn to steal the blinds. Most recently, Sebastiaan de Jonge made it 2,400,000 on the button with 10♦9♦ and managed to get it through.
Ignacio Sagra then raised to 2,400,000 on the Hakeem Mashal shoved 3,800,000 from the small blind. De Jonge called in the big blind, and Sagra also called.
The flop came 2♣Q♠8♠ and De Jonge led out for 4,000,000. Sagra quickly folded his J♦10♣.
Hakeem Mashal: 7♠7♥ 
Sebastiaan de Jonge: Q♦10♥
De Jonge had flopped top pair and didn't want to taky any chances and let his opponent catch up. An A♥ on the turn left Mashal one card away from the rail, and the 5♥ meant he was out in third.
