Patrick Kennedy raised to 45,000 from middle position and Quan Zhou called in the cutoff. Mathias Duarte, on the button, then moved all in for 530,000.
Martin Zamani threw in all his time bank chips from the big blind as he tanked for more than a minute before calling for 480,000. Kennedy and Zhou both folded.
Martin Zamani: A?Q?
Mathias Duarte: 8?8?
This time it was Zamani with ace-queen against a pocket pair, and he couldn't find any help on the J?2?6?K?3? board as he became the first casualty of the final table.
On the first hand of the final table, Martin Zamani moved all in for 225,000 from middle position, Tom Orpaz reraised to 500,000 in the hijack, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Martin Zamani: K?K?
Tom Orpaz: A?Q?
"It's a flip. It either comes or it doesn't," Zamani said as the board came out K?Q?4?2?3?, giving him top set and a double up.
Pawel Krol moved all in for 295,000 as action folded to Tom Orpaz on the button, who reraised to 600,000. The blinds got out of the way.
Pawel Krol: A?J?
Tom Orpaz: A?Q?
Orpaz had Krol dominated heading to the flop, which came 9?5?2?. Krol was still behind and found no help on the 10? turn or K? river as he was sent to the rail in 11th place.
