Zakaria Eliminated

Ramy Zakaria, who started the hand with 13,625, was involved in a big hand at Table 17. With blinds at 150-300, the player under the gun raised to 900, only to have Zakaria reraise to 3,000. At that point, a woman in the small blind committed her last 2,150 and the original raiser went all-in himself for a total of 9,950. Zakaria made the call and all three players turned over their cards.

Zakaria: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Small blind: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Under-the-gun player: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

With the pot at over 22,000, the flop came {J-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}, giving the lady in the small blind a flopped set and an excellent chance to triple up. The turn sealed the deal on the main pot when the {5-Hearts} hit, but there was still around 15,000 in the side. The {9-Diamonds} hit the river and Zakaria was left with a little over 3,000. Unfortunately, he couldn't recover and was eliminated a few hands later.
