Timothy Rutherford Eliminated in 20th Place ($10,495)

Niveau 25 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A player in early position raised to 60,000 only to see Timothy Rutherford three-bet to 175,000. Action folded to Anthony Dianaty who came in for a four-bet to 500,000.

The original raiser folded but Rutherford wasn't so quick to release his hand. After using up two time banks, Rutherford moved all-in only to see a snap-call from Dianaty to put Rutherford at risk and headed to a runout.

Timothy Rutherford: Q♣Q♠
Anthony Dianaty: A♠A♦

The board ran out 5♥4♠J♠8♥7♦, securing a massive pot for Dianaty and sending Rutherford home in 20th place for $10,495.

Over the next few hands, Dianaty would go on a rush and pick up aces three times and kings once in a single orbit to extend his growing chip lead to over 6,000,000.
