Level 27
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Mels Hovhannisyan moved all in for 1,550,000 in the hijack and Rachid El Yaacoubi called in the small blind.
Mels Hovhannisyan: 9♣9♦ 
Rachid El Yaacoubi: A♣10♦
The K♦K♥J♣ flop gave El Yaacoubi a straight draw and outs to counterfeit Hovhannisyan's pair. The 5♥ turn was safe for Hovhannisyan, but the Q♦ fell on the river to complete El Yaacoubi's straight and send Hovhannisyan to the rail.
