Ali Khalil will go home wondering what could have been

With it folding around to Ali Khalil on the button, he made it 6,000 to go. James Obst reraised out of the small blind to 14,000 and with it back on Khalil made it an additional 14,000. Obst put in yet another raise which was enough to put Khalil all in.

Khalil made the call and tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

to be in serious danger against Obst's {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{2-Diamonds}

and Khalil was eliminated just three spots short of the money as Obst raked in the pot to send him to 420,000 in chips.
