Abdella got the last of his chips in with Q♦10♥ on a queen-high flop but was out-kicked by Fernando Celdran, who called holding K♥Q♣ for a better top pair. Abdella failed to improve and was sent to the rail while Celdran continued to add chips to his stack.
The tournament is now briefly being paused to set up a full two-table redraw.
