Paul Nakhle opened to 100,000 from early position and Panagiotis Prahalis three-bet shoved for 295,000 from the button. Nakhle called with a covering stack to put him at risk.

Panagiotis Prahalis: A♥K♣ All in
Paul Nakhle: A♣7♣

Prahalis was in great shape to double up with the bigger ace and remained ahead on the J♣2♠Q♥8♦9♥ runout to score a full double up while Nakhle was left with under eight big blinds.

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Action folded around to Albert Gorelik who shoved from the small bind for 420,000. Jamie Baker called from the big blind with a covering stack to put Gorelik at risk.

Albert Gorelik: A♣2♦ All in
Jamie Baker: A♥K♣

"Whoops" Gorelik commented upon seeing he was dominated by a bigger ace. He found no help on the A♠9♠K♠Q♥6♦ runout and became the first to fall from the final table courtesy of Baker who collected the last of his chips.
