Ezequiel Kleinman Eliminated in 9th Place ($36,590)
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Action folded to Ezequiel Kleinman in the hijack, and he raised to 160,000. It then folded to Blaz Zerjav who defended his big blind.
After the 5♥2♦10♥ flop, Zerjav check-called a bet of 330,000 from Kleinman.
After the Q♦ on the turn, Zerjav checked to Kleinman again, who this time bet out 550,000. Zerjav decided to check-raise Kleinman all in for his stack of roughly 1,700,000, which Kleinman quickly called.
Ezequiel Kleinman: K♦10♦ 
Blaz Zerjav: 2♠2♣
Zerjav flopped a set against the flopped top pair, and turned flush draw of Kleinman. The river brought the K♥ to give Kleinman two pair, but it was not enough to beat the set of deuces from Zerjev, giving him the pot, and making Kleinman the first departure from the final table.
