Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Imad Derwiche opened to 125,000 from the cutoff and then folded to a shove by Alexandros Kolonias from one seat over, leaving himself even shorter. One hand later, Anthony Zinno raised to 100,000 and now it was Derwiche who jammed. All other opponents went out of the way and Zinno quickly called.

Derwiche initially just revealed the and the dealer then turned over his second card to see the Frenchman and runner up of last year at risk in a coin flip. "I need you," Derwiche said and walked behind Zinno to watch the board unfold. The flop came 
and Zinno picked up an additional flush draw.
The 
turn was a blank, but the 
river gave Zinno the best hand and Derwiche an 8th place finish for a payday of �147,710.
