Andrei Piatrushchanka Eliminated in 3rd Place ($344,000)
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Alina Paliahoshka folded on the button, and Jeffrey Hakim raised to 2,000,000 in the small blind. Andrei Piatrushchanka then three-bet to 6,000,000, before Hakim four-bet all in for Piatrushchanka's stack of 35,000,000, which was snap-called.
Andrei Piatrushchanka: 10?10? 
Jeffrey Hakim: A?Q?
It was a massive flip, and Piatrushchanka was at risk after holding a commanding chip lead just a few hands prior. The 5?8?5? flop was safe, but the A? on the turn put Piatrushchanka on the brink of elimination. The Q? on the river sealed Piatrushchanka's fate, as Hakim took the pot with two pair, aces and queens, eliminating Piatrushchanka in third place.
