Maher Achour Eliminated in 4th Place ($65,000)
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Maher Achour shoved for 1,200,000 from the cutoff and Sergei Varnaev snap-called out of the big blind.
Maher Achour: 10?9? 
Sergei Varnaev: A?J?
Achour would need to come from behind if he wanted to make it to a podium finish in the tournament. The flop came 8?9?3? to put Achour ahead with a pair of nines. However, the J? turn put Varnaev back in the lead with a pair of jacks. The 4? hit the river and the pot was pushed to Varnaev, while Achour was out in fourth.
