John Basta Eliminated in 23rd Place ($6,035)
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
More than 1,000,000 was already in the middle as John Basta and Danesh Zargaran went heads-up to a flop of 6♥Q♣5♠. Zargaran then bet enough from the small blind to put Basta all in, and Basta quickly called for 1,600,000 in the cutoff.
John Basta: 10♣10♠ 
Danesh Zargaran: A♥2♠
Zargaran had been caught making a move as Basta was ahead with his tens. The turn, though, was the A♥ and Basta shot back in his seat as Zargaran hit a pair of aces. The river was the 5♦ and Basta was sent to the rail while Zargaran added to his massive stack.
