Michael Vinokur was all in from the button for 510,000 with AxKx, and he needed to improve to stay alive against the QsQc of Alexander Farahi in middle position.

The board came KcQh5h7h9c, and Farahi flopped a set of queens to win the pot and eliminate Vinokur in 24th place.

Alexander Farahi  –  4,230,000  (71 bb)
Michael Vinokur  –  Eliminated in 24th Place  ($27,500)
