Mathew Frankland Eliminated in 6th Place ($152,300)

Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Mathew Frankland opened the action with a raise to 1,900,000 from the cutoff. It folded to Viktor Ustimov on the button who three-bet all in for his stack of 3,600,000, and once it folded back to Frankland, he made the call for his last 900,000.
Mathew Frankland: A?8?
Viktor Ustimov: A?A?
Frankland ran into Ustimov's pocket aces, and the 9?6?3? flop provided no help. However, the 7? on the turn gave Frankland an open-ended straight draw, though it couldn't be a heart, as Ustimov had also picked up the nut flush draw. The river brought the 10?, completing Frankland's straight, but Ustimov won the pot and eliminated Frankland with his ace-high flush.
