Keanu Tabali Eliminated in 9th Place ($14,449)

Bryan Pellegrino opened for 43,000 from the hijack position and action folded around to Keanu Tabali in the small blind, who re-raised all in for his last 102,000. Pellegrino called and hands were revealed.

Pellegrino: {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Tabali: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

Tabali was in great shape to double, however, the {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop improved Pellegrino's odds as he spiked a pair. The turn brought an uneventful {3-Hearts}, but a {8-Spades} on the river improved Pellegrino to two-pair, which trumped Tabali's tens and sent him to the rail.

Pellegrino is up to 550,000 following the knockout.
