Nazar Buhaiov Eliminated in 28th Place ($300,000)
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Braxton Dunaway opened from middle position to 1,000,000 and Nazar Buhaiov three-bet the button to 2,400,000. When it got back to Dunaway, he called.
On the Q♦10♠3♣ flop, Dunaway checked and Buhaiov bet 2,200,000. Dunaway called to see the 5♦ hit the turn, and again tapped the table. Buhaiov then shoved for around 6,500,000, and Dunaway beat him into the pot.
Nazar Buhaiov: K♥J♠
Braxton Dunaway: 5♠5♣
Dunaway turned a set of fives and had Buhaiov's Main Event life hanging by a thread. Buhaiov needed an ace or a nine to make a straight, but the 3♥ river wasn't what he needed, which ended his run in 28th.
