Ara Melkisetian Eliminated in 18th Place ($17,600)

Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 9?7?5?, Ara Melkisetian found himself all in and at risk from the big blind versus Mustafa Ercan who was under the gun.
Ara Melkisetian: 8?6?
Mustafa Ercan: 7?7?
Both players had smashed the flop but Ercan was behind with middle set against Melkisetian's flopped straight. The K? turn changed nothing but the K? river improved Ercan to a full house to send Melkisetian to the rail and collect a sizable pot.
