Naji Tannoury Eliminated in 22nd Place ($35,000)
Level 25
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Mihai Niste had got his 9,975,000 in the middle before the flop, and it was Naji Tannoury looking for the knockout.
Mihai Niste: A♣K♣
Naji Tannoury: 5♥5♣
They were off the to the races, and unfortunately for Tannoury the J♥J♦7♣9♥7♠ run out counterfeited his pair of fives, sending Niste the double as he yelled with joy.
Tannoury had only 1,700,000 remaining after that hand, and was eliminated when he ran into the pocket jacks of Tom Talboom.
