Charbel Salloum Elimianted in 10th Place ($19,650)
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Dawid Smolka min raised to 200,000 from the cutoff and Charbel Salloum defended out of the big blind.
When the flop came down 10♣5♠8♦ Salloum shoved all of his 850,000 into the middle. Smolka thought it over for a while before making the call.
Charbel Salloum: K♦10♠
Dawid Smolka: Q♣J♦
Salloum was ahead with top pair, but Smolka had a lot of outs to send him to the rail just shy of the final table. The 9♠ turn improved Smolka to the nuts with a straight and left Salloum drawing dead. An inconsequential 8♠ landed on the river, and Salloum was the final table bubble boy of the $5,300 High Roller.
