Seth Berger opens to 225,000 from the cutoff and Dimitry Agrachov shoves for a total of 1,250,000 on the button. Fred Paradis calls in the big blind and Berger folds, leaving just two for a showdown.

The dealer fans out on the flop and Paradis is still the heavy favorite but Agrachov picks up a straight draw. An turn rolls out and Agrachov begins to stand as he is just one card away from his tournament life coming to an end.

An unlikely, and fist-pump-worthy, falls on the felt to give Agrachov a set of dimes. Paradis sends over a double and Agrachov takes his seat with some newly acquired to battle with.

Dimitry Agrachov – 2,850,000 (29 bb)
Fred Paradis – 9,300,000 (93 bb)
