Ziya Rahim:

Todd Brunson had managed to survive multiple times with split pots and small double-ups, but his luck finally ran out against Ziya Rahim who has been building his stack throughout the day.
Brunson defended his bring-in against Rahim, then bet fourth street after Rahim checked to him. Rahim called, then called another bet on fifth street with Brunson now in the betting lead.
With less than a bet left on sixth, Brunson committed the last of his chips to a bet from Rahim who paired his door card six.
Brunson was ahead with a pair of aces and a low draw, but would have to fade a flush draw from Rahim.
Rahim hit his flush on seventh and Brunson couldn't make a low as he was dealt a queen.
The Poker Hall of Famer bowed out in 11th place to bring the field one elimination away from the unofficial final table.
