Nasreddine's Set of Aces Send Chauskin to the Rail
Mitchell Garshofsky opened from middle position and was three-bet by Natan Chauskin out of the small blind. Rania Nasreddine chose to cold-call from the big blind, but Garshofsky folded.
With roughly 1,000,000 in the pot on a flop of A♠5♥2♥, Chauskin led out for 250,000 and was met with a quick raise to 500,000 by Nasreddine. Chauskin then three-bet-shoved for roughly 1,400,000 and was snap-called by Nasreddine.
Natan Chauskin: A♦Q♦ 
Rania Nasreddine: A♥A♣
Nasreddine had slow-played pocket aces and flopped top set against the top pair of Chauskin, who would only stay in the tournament if he hit running cards to split the pot. However, the J♣ on the turn cemented Chauskin's elimination from the tournament as an inconsequential Q♥ came on the river.
