Houman Sahafi Eliminated in 3rd Place ($66,600)
Level 34
: 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Danesh Zargaran raised to 1,750,000 in the small blind, Houman Sahafi moved all in for 14,000,000 in the big blind, and Zargaran snap-called.
Houman Sahafi: A♦Q♣ 
Danesh Zargaran: K♥K♦
Zargaran had woken up with kings and left Sahafi needed to hit an ace to stay alive. The flop came 9♦7♣6♣, while Zargaran made top set on the K♠ turn as Sahafi was already drawing dead by the river. The inconsequential 2♣ completed the board and Sahafi was sent to the rail in third place.
Zargaran and Candido Cappiello are taking a short break before beginning their heads-up match.
