Leon Halat Eliminated in 9th Place ($1,397)

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Leon Halat - 9th place
Leon Halat - 9th place

Rick Block raised to 19,000 from early position and saw Leon Halat three-bet all in for 72,000 from the next seat over. Budway Salhab was next to act and he flatted. Action folded to Eric Gierlinger in the cutoff and he called the all in as well. Action trickled back to Block who folded, allowing three to go to the flop with one all in.

The flop came {9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Salhab led for 110,000. Gierlinger folded and the hands were turned on their backs.

Salhab: {K-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Halat: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Halat was still drawing live with his ace but it was not meant to be as the {4-Spades} and the {q-Clubs} finished off the board. He was eliminated in ninth place for $1,397 in prize money.
