Homan Houshiar Eliminated in 12th Place ($20,760)

In an unusual occurrence on Table 1, everyone except Layne Flack limped into the pot to see a friendly flop. It showed up {10-Spades}

, and the two blinds checked. Uri Keidar was under the gun, and he put out a small bet of 25,000. Homan Housiar would make the call as the other three players ducked out of the way.

Heads up then, the two men watched the turn fall the {10-Clubs}

. Keidar loaded another small bet of 35,000 and slid it forward. Houshir had 110,000 left, and he moved all in. Keidar quickly called, tabling {9-Spades}

.

"Oh jeez," said Houshiar with a sigh. He turned over {10-Hearts}

needing to improve to keep him in the game. The river was a useless {K-Diamonds}

though, and that's the end of the day for the gregarious Canadian.

That elimination leaves us with 11 players, one knockout away from the end of Day 4.
