Ara Melkisetian Eliminated in 18th Place ($17,600)
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 9♠7♣5♠, Ara Melkisetian found himself all in and at risk from the big blind versus Mustafa Ercan who was under the gun.
Ara Melkisetian: 8♣6♦
Mustafa Ercan: 7♠7♥
Both players had smashed the flop but Ercan was behind with middle set against Melkisetian's flopped straight. The K♥ turn changed nothing but the K♣ river improved Ercan to a full house to send Melkisetian to the rail and collect a sizable pot.
