David Hirst Eliminated in 12th Place ($31,300)
Level 39
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
David Hirst was just moved from the other table and needed to pay the big blind, so he had just 1,400,000 behind after paying the big blind and ante. Action folded to Marat Shafigullin, who raised to 3,500,000. Everyone got out of the way, leaving the decision to Hirst, who went all in for his last 3,000,000.
David Hirst: K♥J♦
Marat Shafigullin: Q♥Q♠
Shafigullin was ahead, and the flop gave him a set as it showed Q♣9♦2♣. Hirst was hoping for a turnaround on the turn, but the 9♠ turn sealed the deal for Hirst, sending him to the rail and eliminating one more player for Shafigullin.
