Pavan Bhatia Eliminated in 9th Place ($21,591)
Who knows if the recent bluff by Daniel Weinman against Pavan Bhatia had anything to do with the latter's recent elimination, but one can't help but think it might have.
In the first hand back from the break, action folded to Bhatia in the small blind and he opted to limp. Daniel Weinman exercised his option in the big with a raise to 175,000, and then snap-called when Bhatia moved all in for 1 million.
Bhatia: 
Weinman: 
It was a race, and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Bhatia had a 50.33% chance of winning the hand while Weinman wasn't far behind at 49.12%. The flop ultimately determined the hand when it came down 
to pair Weinman's king, making him an 86.67% favorite. The 
turn further increased that to 95.45%, which meant Bhatia needed a three on the river to stay alive.
The dealer burned one last time and put out the 
, sending Bhatia to the rail in ninth place for $21,591.
