: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Max Steinberg opened to 30,000 in the cutoff, Pavlin Karakikov moved all in for 150,000 from the small blind, and Steinberg tank-called.
Steinberg: 
Karakikov: 
Karakikov was in great shape to double, and remained ahead after the flop fell

The dealer rapped the table, burned a card, then delivered the 
on the turn. Suddenly, Steinberg was ahead with Broadway, and it was Karakikov who needed the board to pair or the river to produce a fourth diamond.
Neither occurred as the 
completed the board, and Karakikov was eliminated in 10th place. The remaining nine players will not combine to make the unofficial final table.
