John Farmakoulas Eliminated in 13th Place ($15,135)

John Farmakoulas - 13th place
John Farmakoulas - 13th place

John Farmakoulas raised from under the gun to 200,000. Yes, we said 200,000. Action folded around to Will "Monkey" Souther in the big blind and he moved all in. Farmakoulas actually turned up his hand to reveal the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Souther was about to muck thinking he folded until Farmakoulas said, "Let me think about it." The floor was then called and right as they got there, Farmakoulas announced a call. The ruling would have been that he would have had to call anyway according to the tournament staff. Either way, the cards were on their backs.

Souther: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Farmakoulas: {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Souther won the pot. The two were very, very close in chips and it required a count of both players' stacks to see who had more. Souther had the most chips by a little bit and Farmakoulas became the 13th-place finisher.
