Ivan Demidov has the button in Seat 7. When the action passes to him, Chino Rheem open-shoves for 3.5 million. Peter Eastgate calls from the small blind. After Dennis Phillips folds the big blind, Rheem and Eastgate open their hands.

Rheem: {A-Spades}

Eastgate:

Rheem is in an excellent position to double up, having Eastgate dominated preflop. All that changes when the flop comes {Q-Spades}

. Now Eastgate is the one who has Rheem dominated. Rheem needs a king or running cards to stay alive in this tournament. He doesn't get any help with the {9-Diamonds}

; he's down to his last three outs on the river. He can't find any of them. The river is the {4-Hearts}

to send Rheem out of the tournament in seventh place. He graciously offers a handshake and a hug to each of the remaining players at the table.

Rheem has nothing to be ashamed of; his efforts in the Main Event have earned him $1,772,650.
