Damir Zhugralin Eliminated in 5th Place ($85,700)
Level 33
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Damir Zhugralin opened to 500,000 and Nichan Khorchidian three-bet to 1,500,000 from the cutoff. Zhugralin four-bet to 2,900,000 and Khorchidian ripped in it, covering Zhugralin who had 7,800,000 behind. Zhugralin snap-called and was at risk.
Damir Zhugralin: A?A?
Nichan Khorchidian: A?K?
Zhugralin seemed to be in an excellent position to double up into the chip lead until the Q?J?10? flop gave Khorchidian the Broadway straight. The 5? turn left Zhugralin drawing dead and after the 6? river Khorchidian dragged in the biggest pot of the tournament so far while Zhugralin was sent to the rail in horrific fashion.
