Fausto Tantillo Eliminated in 5th Place ($90,000)
Level 38
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Dashinka raised to 1,600,000 in the cutoff before Fausto Tantillo three-bet to 10,000,000 on the button. Dashinka then moved all in as Tantillo ripped off his sunglasses and shot up from his seat before calling for 2,200,000 more.
Fausto Tantillo: A♦J♠ 
Dashinka: A♥9♥
Tantillo found himself ahead with his better ace, but the 9♠3♣2♥ flop gave Dashinka the lead with a pair of nines. Dashinka also picked up a flush draw on the Q♥ turn, while the 9♣ river improved him to trips and sent Tantillo, the start-of-day chip leader, to the rail in fifth place.
