Nadav Barash Eliminated in 46th Place ($200,000)
Daehyung Lee opened from middle position to 500,000 and Nadav Barash three-bet the button to 1,250,000. When it got back to Lee, he called.
On the 6♦9♦10♥ flop, Lee checked and Barash put out a bet of 2,150,000. Lee wasted no time in moving all in, and Barash snap-called for his stack of around 9,000,000 total.
Nadav Barash: 8♦7♦
Daehyung Lee: J♠J♥
Barash had flopped the nuts and had a flush draw for backup, which left Lee drawing extremely thin. A K♣ on the turn did give Lee three outs to a straight draw, but Barash was still a huge favorite to double up.
It's not over until it's over, though, as Barash found out when the Q♣ dropped on the river, which gave Lee a bigger straight. Barash couldn't believe it, but he hit the rail as Lee's stack swelled to nearly 30,000,000.
