Yahyaei Eliminates Faria
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Majid Yahyaei opened the cutoff to 10,000 and Luis Faria shoved from the big blind for 154,000. Yahyaei thought about it for a while before dropping the chips in the pot which put Faria at risk.
Luis Faria: 9♦9♣ 
Majid Yahyaei: A♠J♠
Yahyaei paired his ace on the 2♥A♥3♦ flop which left Faria with just two outs to win the pot. Neither of the nines appeared on the runout of Q♣Q♦ which meant Faria was eliminated, and Yahyaei's stack reached the half-million mark.
