Maksim Pisarenko opened to 5,000,000 from under the gun and Jarod Minghini three-bet jammed in middle position. Pisarenko called for an additional 1,700,000 to put himself at risk.

Maksim Pisarenko: A♦5♠ All in

He couldn't find any on the Q♥ river and the WSOP bracelet winner was eliminated in 13th place.
