Dario Alioto Eliminated in 11th Place (€3,125)
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
In a button vs small blind confrontation, Andrei Shpak and Dario Alioto got the chips in the middle with the latter being at risk for around 1,000,000.
Dario Alioto: A♦Q♠10♣7♦ 
Andrei Shpak: A♠A♥J♥5♣
It didn't look good for Alioto and not much help arrived on the 2♥6♠8♦ flop, but he did pick up a gutshot straight draw. Only a nine would keep Alioto alive but neither the K♥ turn nor Q♥ river were the card he was looking for, and he was out in eleventh.
