Ilkin Amirov (pictured) opens to 20,000 and Martin Romanec three-bets next to act to 55,000. The action folds back to Amirov, and he calls.

The dealer spreads a Diamond 4Diamond 9Diamond 5 flop and Amirov checks to Romanec who continues for 45,000. Amirova announces he is all in for 312,000, and Romanec calls.

Romanec: Diamond QHeart Q
Amirov: Diamond JDiamond 10

Amirov was in the lead with his flopped flush, but would need to avoid another diamond.

The turn lands the Heart 5 to now give Romanec outs to a full house with any queen or five.

Unfortunately for Amirov, the river would land the Diamond 6 to give Romanec a higher flush, and send Amirov to the rail in 13th place for a $1,200 payday while simultaneously bubbling a Day 2 berth.

For Amirov, this is also his second cash for the Zynga Poker WPT500 Las Vegas as he finished 16th on Day 1a for a $1,200 payday.

Martin Romanec – 819,000
Ilkin Amirov – Eliminated in 13th Place ($1,200)
