Siavash Bahri Eliminated in 8th Place ($25,742)

Level 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Siavash Bahri
Siavash Bahri

Siavash Bahri raised on the button to 2,500,000 and was met by an all in from the much bigger stack of Ben Collins. Bahri made the call.

Siavash Bahri: A?A?All in
Ben Collins: A?7?

This was the second time Bahri had aces this final table and the flop was no sweat when it came down K?9?10? and it appeared Bahri had just about secured victory when the 8? peeled off, giving him the nut flush draw to go with his aces.

The table let out at collective moan when the 6? rolled off the deck, giving a lively and lucky Ben Collins a straight on the river.

Bahri took the beat on the chin and every single one of his tablemates took a moment to shake his hand and share empathy at such a tremendously bad beat.

Siavash Bahri

Siavash Bahri raised to 2,200,000 ad Paul Serrate defended his big blind.

Heads up to a flop of K?6?J?. Bahri went all in when checked to and Serrate made the call.

Siavash Bahri: A?A?
Paul Serrate: K?10?

Serrate's pair of kings was behind Bahri's aces. The turn bricked the 5? and the Q? didn't improve Serrate either.

Bahri is now well in contention with a healthy stack.

Gerald Schnierer got his last 6,000,000 all in preflop but was sad to see he was behind when Tolga Gesli put him at risk.

Gerald Schnierer: A?Q? All in
Tolga Gesli: Q?Q?

Schnierer did his best to summon an ace every street but it wasn't his day, as the board ran out 3?2?8?6?10?.

Schnierer exchanged information with his tablemates before parting ways, so everyone has made a friend on top of whatever prize they received.

Juliano Left With Crumbs

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Ben Snodgrass open-shoved from the small blind for roughly 5,500,000.

Richard Juliano went into the tank and commented, "I hate calling." Juliano then decided on a call having Snodgrass barley covered.

Ben Snodgrass: A?J? All in
Richard Juliano: 3?3?

The board ran out K?A?8?J?6? securing a much needed double up for Snodgrass.
