Level 34 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Nathan Burnett, Oleksandr Trokhymenko and Jie Fu all had their chips in the middle with the decision on Klas Krueger in the big blind. After much deliberation, Krueger couldn't resist the potential of a triple knockout, as he was the commanding stack. Cards were on the backs and the side pots were yet to be sorted.

Nathan Burnett: A?3?
Oleksandr Trokhymenko: A?6?
Jie Fu: 9?9?
Klas Krueger: 7?7?

The flop spread 3?6?Q?, not eliciting a single response from any of the participants, but upon the 9? peeling the turn, Fu burst into celebration as he made a set of nines. The 5? changed nothing and a massive pot was pushed to Fu, while Krueger took a big hit.

Nathan Burnett was eliminated in 26th place as the shortest stack and Oleksandr Trokhymenko followed closely behind in 25th place.
