Alexander Farahi Eliminated in 8th Place ($17,890)

Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action folded to Sungmin Cho in the hijack and he raised to 250,000. It then folded to Alexander Farahi in the big blind who made the call.
The flop came Q?4?9? and Farahi checked to Cho who went all in for Farahi's last 450,000. After thinking over his decision, he made the call to put himself at risk.
Alexander Farahi: 5?4?
Sungmin Cho: K?Q?
Farahi flopped a pair and went with it, but would need to improve to beat the pair of queens from Cho. But when the board ran out 9? on the turn, and 2? on the river, Cho had the best hand still and Farahi was eliminated in 8th place.
