David Stefanski Eliminated in 7th Place ($34,333)

[user66118]

From the hijack seat, David Stefanski stuck his last 595,000 into the middle on an open-shove. Two seats over, Drazen Ilich found a pair in the hole, and he made the call with the covering stack. It was a flip.

Showdown
Stefanski: {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}
Ilich: {5-Hearts} {5-Spades}

The {J-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} flop shot Stafanski into a big lead with two to come. Things went south in a hurry from there, though. The {5-Diamonds} hit fourth street to give Ilich the edge with his set of fives, but Stefanski was drawing live to the flush to double up. He needed to find any diamond other than the four of diamonds.

River: {4-Diamonds}

That's the bad one for Stefanski as it gives Ilich the winning full house and the knockout. Stefanski's is a name you'll no doubt see again at a major final table, but his run here in Palm Beach has come to an end in seventh place. That's good for $34,333 in his pockets, and he wished the final six players luck as he headed off to the cashier to get paid.
