Ari Engel Has Been Eliminated

[user37786]

And on a sick little hand to boot. The player under the gun moved in for his last 450 and two middle-position players called before the action got to Engel in the small blind. He raised the pot (to around 2,250) and one of the middle-position players decided to stick around and call. The flop came {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

and Engel moved in for his last 875. His opponent made the call, saying, "I have nothing," and showing {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

for a gutshot draw to Engel's {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

and top two pair. A blank fell on the turn, but on the the river the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

spiked to give the other player Broadway and send Engel out of the tournament.
