Daniel Mackay has been eliminated in 16th place after a huge hand between he and Albert Bassal.

Isham Yamani opened the action to 200K from UTG and Daniel 3-bet to 400K from middle position. Action folded around to Albert (SB) and he 4-bet shoved his (covering) stack. Isham folded, and Daniel snap-called by throwing a chip at the 400K he had already put in front of him.

Albert: Queen of Diamonds Queen of Clubs
Daniel: 10 of Diamonds 10 of Hearts

The flop was relatively safe: 7 of Clubs 7 of Hearts 9 of Spades but the turn 8 of Hearts gave Daniel an open-ended straight draw – but the Ace of Diamonds on the river wasn’t what he was looking for and he shipped his whole 2.9M chip stack to Albert, who is now the chip leader in the tournament.
