Amirpasha Emami Eliminated in 5th Place ($164,750)

Level 41 : Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Amirpasha Emami
Amirpasha Emami

Amirpasha Emami raised to 6,000,000 from under the gun, leaving behind only a single blue 100,000 chip. Pierre Shum made the call in the big blind.

The flop came 8?8?4?. Shum moved all in and Emami called to put himself at risk.

Amirpasha Emami: K?3?
Pierre Shum: A?7?

Emami was in rough shape, needing to hit a king or a three while avoiding any hearts to extend his tournament life. The 9? turn left him drawing dead, the A? river was inconsequential and Emami was sent to the rail while Shum dragged in another pot.
