Naji Tannoury Eliminated in 8th Place ($40,930)
Level 32
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Naji Tannoury opened the hijack to 400,000 and Dmitry Gromov made it 1,500,000 from the cutoff. When the action got back to Tannoury, he shoved for 4,650,000. Gromov burned through a few timebank cards but eventually said "I can't fold this hand," and called with a covering stack.
Naji Tannoury: J♦J♠ 
Dmitry Gromov: A♥K♥
It was a fair fight and a flip that Tannoury needed to win, otherwise he would be eliminated. It wasn't a great start for the Lebanese player as the flop of A♠2♥4♣ gave Gromov a pair of aces. No help arrived on the 4♦ turn or 10♦ river, and Tannoury was out.
