Israel Pantaleon Eliminated in 7th Place ($65,000)
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Current chip leader Sergei Gurin opened in early position before the action folded to Israel Pantaleon on the button who moved all in for his tournament life. The blinds folded and Gurin snap called.
"Aces again?" Pantaleon asked, and although they weren't aces, it still wasn't great news.
Israel Pantaleon: Q♦Q♣ 
Sergei Gurin: K♣K♠
Pantaleon was gonna need to drill the flop and that's exactly what he did on the 8♣Q♥10♠ board. The rail went wild.
Unfortunately, the poker gods had other plans and they promptly put the K♥ on the turn giving Gurin the best hand. The rail went even wilder and the A♠ river sealed the deal.
Pantaleon still earned a great payout and has a ton to be happy about.
