Yashar Tafazoli was all-in for 288,000 in the small blind and at risk against David Litvak on the button.
Tafazoli: 9♥9♦
Litvak: 7♥7♣
The 6♠A♥5♣ flop kept the nines in front, but the 7♠ hit the felt on the turn and Litvak celebrated as he jumped out in front. The 8♥ spiked the river, however, and Tafazoli had a celebration of his own as he made a straight to survive the rollercoaster runout and double.
Litvak was left with less than one big blind and was eliminated on the following hand in eighth place for $1,431.
Yashar Tafazoli – 606,000
David Litvak – 0
