George Abi-Zeid Eliminated in 27th Place ($7,400)

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ahead of the three-table redraw, George Abi-Zeid was all in against Benedetto Bianco and Constantine Bogiatzis, who both had him covered.

The flop landed {2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Bianco and Bogiatzis both checked. Both players checked again on the {5-Spades} turn. The {6-Spades} river completed the board and Bianco led out for 500,000. Unexpectedly, Bogiatzis raised all in and Bianco quickly called before tabling {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for the nut flush against the second nut flush of Bianco with {k-Spades}{q-Spades}.

It was a bit of karma as Bianco earlier put a tough beat on Emanuel "Will the Thrill" Failla, who had a turned king-high flush against the rivered ace-high flush of Bianco.

"I was ahead until the river," Abi-Zeid said glumly as he showed {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}.
