After having his stack crippled shortly after the dinner break, Elia Ahmadian was in the small blind and down to his final 31,900 chips. He pushed all-in pre-flop after Jacob McLaughlin limped into the hand in hijack position. McLaughlin called and the cards were out.

McLaughlin: 7♣ 7♥    Ahmadian: A♦ K♠

Flop: J♦ J♥ 9♥

Turn: 5♠

River: 4♣

Ahmadian found neither a pair nor a broadway draw for his overcards, and left the room in 24th place.

Only five more eliminations remain until the end of play for the day.
