Adrian State Eliminated in 5th Place ($60,500)
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Adrian State raised to 2,000,000 on the button, and Ohad Geiger jammed from the small blind with the bigger stack. State called for his total of 3,850,000, putting himself at risk once again.
Adrian State: 10♠9♠
Ohad Geiger: A♦5♦
Geiger was ahead with the solver-approved ace-five, although State held a hand with plenty of potential.
Both players picked up draws on the 6♦2♦8♣ flop, while Geiger's ace-high remained in front.
State was left drawing dead when the K♦ on the turn improved Geiger to a flush, and after the inconsequential 4♣ completed the board, State's run came to an end in fifth place.
