Andrei Piatrushchanka Eliminated in 3rd Place ($344,000)
Level 35
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Alina Paliahoshka folded on the button, and Jeffrey Hakim raised to 2,000,000 in the small blind. Andrei Piatrushchanka then three-bet to 6,000,000, before Hakim four-bet all in for Piatrushchanka's stack of 35,000,000, which was snap-called.
Andrei Piatrushchanka: 10♥10♣ 
Jeffrey Hakim: A♣Q♥
It was a massive flip, and Piatrushchanka was at risk after holding a commanding chip lead just a few hands prior. The 5♠8♠5♥ flop was safe, but the A♠ on the turn put Piatrushchanka on the brink of elimination. The Q♦ on the river sealed Piatrushchanka's fate, as Hakim took the pot with two pair, aces and queens, eliminating Piatrushchanka in third place.
