Mustafa Ercan Eliminated in 6th Place ($69,100)

Ryan Lashmar

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Felipe Ketzer opened to 525,000 from under the gun and Damir Zhugralin moved all in for 5,525,000 from the button. Mustafa Ercan snap-called with his stack of 4,150,000. Ketzer thought for a few moments before folding A?K?, leaving Zhugralin at risk.

Mustafa Ercan: A?J?
Damir Zhugralin: A?10?

Zhugralin was dominated against a bigger ace but he took the lead on the K?10?K? flop. The 8? turn brought in a flush draw for Ercan but the 7? river was a brick. Zhugralin dragged in a pot worth over 10,000,000 while Ercan made his exit from the tournament area.

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Antoine Hasbani moved all in for 850,000 and Damir Zhugralin raised all in over the top to 2,650,000. Nichan Khorchidian called from the small blind to leave both players at risk.

Antoine Hasbani: K?Q?
Damir Zhugralin: A?5?
Nichan Khorchidian: A?Q?

Khorchidian had both opponents dominated and seemed poised to score a double knockout until Zhugralin made trips on the 5?5?6? flop leaving Khorchidian drawing dead and Hasbani drawing only to running kings. The 4? turn sealed the pot for Zhugralin and after the 4? river scored well over a full double up while Hasbani was sent to the rail in seventh place.

Both players checked the 10?9?3? leading to the A? turn which gave Khorchidian top pair and Zhugralin a flush draw to go along with his pair of nines. Zhugralin checked again and Khorchidian bet 625,000. Zhugralin made the call.

Both players checked the J? river and Khorchidian's pair of aces were good enough to take the pot.
