George Panagides Eliminated in 7th Place ($27,500)
Level 29
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Abdullah Alajmi raised to 300,000 in the cutoff, George Panagides three-bet to 800,000 on the button, and Alajmi called.
The flop came A?K?9? and Panagides bet 550,000. Alajmi called and the 8? fell on the turn.
Panagides then bet another 1,250,000 as Alajmi cut out a stack of his green 500,000 chips and shuffled them for a minute as he burned through three time banks before moving all in. Panagides also tanked for a few seconds until deciding to call for his last 3,600,000.
Panagides showed A?J? for top pair, but Alajmi turned over 9?8?, continuing his incredible run by turning two pair. The Q? river failed to save Panagides and he became Alajmi's latest victim as the Kuwait native controls nearly half of the chips in play.
