Nazar Buhaiov Eliminated in 10th Place ($21,800)
Jackson Santos opened to 1,000,000 from early position and Nazar Buhaiov three-bet to 2,500,000 from the hijack.
Josef Snejberg then put in a four-bet to 7,500,000 from the cutoff, sending Santos deep into the tank.
Santos considered his options for over three minutes before opting to fold. This time it was Buhaiov's turn in the tank. Buhaiov thought about his decision for an additional five minutes, occasionally sneaking a quick peek at his hole cards. Eventually another player called the clock and shortly afterwards Buhaiov five-bet shoved for roughly 12,000,000 total. Snejberg, who covered Buhaiov slightly, snap-called to put Buhaiov at risk.
Nazar Buhaiov: A♠K♦
Josef Snejberg: A♥K♥
A chop seemed immenent until the Q♥8♦7♥ flop gave Snejberg a flush draw. Buhaiov dodged a heart on the 7♠ turn but the 5♥ river gave Snejberg the ace-high flush. Buhaiov became the first final table casualty of the day while Snejberg dragged in the largest pot of the tournament so far.
