Kayhan Mokri Eliminated in 3rd Place (€559,200)
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Kayhan Mokri opened to 300,000 from the button, leaving himself about 500,000 behind.
Luca Marki folded, but Mauricio Sanchez in the big blind moved all in with the covering stack, and Mokri quickly called to put himself at risk.
Kayhan Mokri: K♦9♦ 
Mauricio Sanchez: 4♦4♣
Sanchez was ahead in a race, and had a near lock on the hand after the 4♠A♦2♣ flop gave him a set of fours. Mokri's only hope was drawing to a backdoor flush.
The 8♣ turn meant he was drawing dead, and he said his goodbyes as the A♥ completed the board.
Sanchez enters heads-up at a nearly 5:1 chip disadvantage to Marki. They have taken a ten-minute break before heads-up play begins.
