Level 28 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Zachary McDiarmid
Zachary McDiarmid

Zachary McDiarmid opened to 240,000 in the cutoff and Chris Frank defended the big blind.

The flop was {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Frank check-called a 250,000 bet.

The {4-Clubs} came on the turn and after Frank checked, McDiarmid shoved. Frank instantly announced call, and seemed like he would've called even faster if it was possible, while hands were revealed.

Chris Frank: {q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
Zachary McDiarmid: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Frank turned the flush but McDiarmid could still catch a club for a better flush. However, the {2-Hearts} harmless completed the board to send McDiarmid to the rail with an eighth-place finish.

Zachary McDiarmid raised to 200,000 from the button and Z Stein called from the big blind.

The flop was {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and Stein bet 530,000, leaving one T-25,000 chip behind. McDiarmid placed enough chips in the middle to cover Stein, but he said "call", so the call was enforced. Stein went all-in blind with his last chip and the turn was {q-Hearts}.

McDiarmid called the 25,000 chip and turned over {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} while Stein tabled {k-}{7-}. McDiarmid flush draw came through with {9-Hearts} on the river, and Stein was eliminated from the tournament in ninth place for $63,024.
