Michael Michnik Eliminated in 13th Place ($33,294)
Conrad Monica opened to 60,000 from the cutoff, and Michael Michnik three-bet shoved for about 470,000 total. We didn't know that yet, and Hassan Babajane moved all in from the big blind as well. It looked like Babajane had more chips, but it was hard to tell with the tall stacks. Monica laid it down, and the cards were on their backs.
Showdown
Michnik:
Babajane:
The flop was good for Michnik's pair, but Babajane did add four outs to his arsenal. He'd add another eight more when the hit fourth street, now looking for any club, queen, king, or ace to drag the million-chip pot.
River: . Babajane let out a celebratory yell, and the dealer began counting down the stacks. In the end, Babajane's 572,000 was the covering amount, and Michnik hit the rail in 13th place, good for more than $30,000.
