Frank Rusnak Eliminated in 11th Place ($33,026)
It was a calamitious drop for Frank Rusnak. He started the day with more than a million chips, which at this blind level was quite deep. Yet he lost pot after pot and finally found himself opening all in for his last 171,000 from under the gun. Koen de Bakker then moved all in over the top, clearing everyone else out of the hand and taking us to the reveal. It was not good news for Rusnak.

Rusnak's hand was dominated. He flopped a straight draw on the same board that paired de Bakker's ace, , but nothing changed from that point on. Rusnak left with the thought of "what might have been", just missing the final table of this event. His consolation will be $33,026.
