Yahyaei Eliminates Faria
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Majid Yahyaei opened the cutoff to 10,000 and Luis Faria shoved from the big blind for 154,000. Yahyaei thought about it for a while before dropping the chips in the pot which put Faria at risk.
Luis Faria: 9?9? 
Majid Yahyaei: A?J?
Yahyaei paired his ace on the 2?A?3? flop which left Faria with just two outs to win the pot. Neither of the nines appeared on the runout of Q?Q? which meant Faria was eliminated, and Yahyaei's stack reached the half-million mark.
