Majid Yahaei Eliminated in 23rd Place ($26,210)
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Ryan Tosoc had exited the tournament in 24th place, before the final three-table redraw took place.
In the first hand after the redraw, Majid Yahaei was all in and at risk, facing a call from Nozomu Shimizu.
Majid Yahaei: A?5?
Nozomu Shimizu: Q?Q?
The dealer spread a flop of 3?Q?4?, Shimizu making a set, but Yahaei still with hopes of hitting a gutshot straight.
Those hopes came true when a 2? hit the turn. But a 2? on the river gave Shimizu the full house and sent Yahaei to the payout desk after a rollercoaster ride.
