George Panagides Eliminated in 7th Place ($27,500)
Level 29
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Abdullah Alajmi raised to 300,000 in the cutoff, George Panagides three-bet to 800,000 on the button, and Alajmi called.
The flop came A♥K♣9♦ and Panagides bet 550,000. Alajmi called and the 8♣ fell on the turn.
Panagides then bet another 1,250,000 as Alajmi cut out a stack of his green 500,000 chips and shuffled them for a minute as he burned through three time banks before moving all in. Panagides also tanked for a few seconds until deciding to call for his last 3,600,000.
Panagides showed A♦J♥ for top pair, but Alajmi turned over 9♥8♥, continuing his incredible run by turning two pair. The Q♠ river failed to save Panagides and he became Alajmi's latest victim as the Kuwait native controls nearly half of the chips in play.
