Damir Zhugralin Eliminated in 5th Place ($85,700)
Niveau 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.
