Sako Marashlian survived the bubble as the short stack, and managed to secure himself a spot on the final table of Event #3 before being eliminated in 8th place.
He folded most of the hands leading up to his elimination, and with only 70K left with 20K invested in the big blind, he committed his stack following an open from Manfred and a call from Steve. Action checked down to the river, where Sako was delivered the bad news.
