Christophe Panetti Eliminated in 4th Place ($114,400)
Nichan Khorchidian opened to 600,000 from the button with A♦Q♥ and Felipe Ketzer called in the small blind with A♠K♦. Christophe Panetti defended from the big blind with 6♣3♣.
The flop came 4♥Q♣2♦ giving Khorchidian top pair. Action checked around to Khorchidian who bet 650,000 and received a call from both opponents.
Ketzer checked on the 6♠ turn and Panetti moved all in for 2,450,000. Khorchidian called with a covering stack to put Panetti at risk while Ketzer got out of the way.
Christophe Panetti: 6♣3♣
Nichan Khorchidian: A♦Q♥
Panetti needed a three, five or six to extend his tournament life but the A♥ river gave Khorchidian two pair, sending Panetti to the rail in fourth place while Khorchidian extended his lead over his remaining two opponents.
