Hand #35: Jonathan Khalifa raised to 900,000 from the cutoff and Makarios Avramidis shoved for 4,175,000 in the big blind. Khalifa snap-called.

Makarios Avramidis: {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Jonathan Khalifa: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}

"Come on, I can't lose that one, aces versus ace six," Khalifa said in French to his rail.

The board came {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and Avramidis had to settle for 5th place and a payday of €68,771, ensuring that a new WSOP bracelet winner will be crowned.
