Christophe Panetti Eliminated in 4th Place ($114,400)
Nichan Khorchidian opened to 600,000 from the button with A?Q? and Felipe Ketzer called in the small blind with A?K?. Christophe Panetti defended from the big blind with 6?3?.
The flop came 4?Q?2? giving Khorchidian top pair. Action checked around to Khorchidian who bet 650,000 and received a call from both opponents.
Ketzer checked on the 6? turn and Panetti moved all in for 2,450,000. Khorchidian called with a covering stack to put Panetti at risk while Ketzer got out of the way.
Christophe Panetti: 6?3?
Nichan Khorchidian: A?Q?
Panetti needed a three, five or six to extend his tournament life but the A? river gave Khorchidian two pair, sending Panetti to the rail in fourth place while Khorchidian extended his lead over his remaining two opponents.
