Loki Abboud Eliminated in 10th Place ($5,403)

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Loki Abboud - 10th Place
Loki Abboud - 10th Place

Gary Loeffler opened to 125,000 in the hijack, and Loki Abboud shoved for 475,000 in the big blind. Loeffler called.

Loeffler: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Abboud: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Abboud had the edge and it stayed that way as {6-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{a-Hearts} flopped. The {q-Diamonds} turn was a brutal one for Abboud though, and he needed an ace, jack, ten, or six on the river. It was an {8-} though, eliminating him.

Action at Table 2 Before Break

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
John Morgan
John Morgan

Ryan Hartmann shoved over a John Morgan open with {q-}{q-} and saw Morgan call with {a-}{j-}. Hartmann exploded in frustration when an ace-jack flop gave Morgan top two, but a {q-} on the turn calmed him down.

A bit later, after tripling up with {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, Morgan was the one who picked up two queens behind a Shane Nelson shove. Nelson had {a-}{2-} and said he was going to hit a three outer, but a queen on the flop ended those hopes. There was also a king though, and Nelson called for a ten but got a {j-} instead. Then, his {10-Diamonds} arrived on the river to make him a straight.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.

Abboud Checks Aces, Doubles Hartmann Up

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Ryan Hartmann
Ryan Hartmann

Loki Abboud checked the big blind after Ryan Hartmann limped, and the two saw a {2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop. After unknown flop action, the Hartmann check-shoved for 161,000 on the {7-Spades} turn after Abboud bet 50,000. Abboud called with {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} but needed another diamond against {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

"Please hold, please hold," Hartmann yelled. "Black card! Black card!"

It was a {9-Spades}, a brick to give Hartmann the double.

Woelfel Doubles, Calling His Out

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Wade Woelfel
Wade Woelfel

Wade Woelfel shoved his last 150,000 or so in from the button and got called by the big blind.

Woelfel: {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Big blind: {a-}{k-}

"Eight of hearts coming," Woelfel predicted.

The board rolled out {10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs}, and it looked like he was dead wrong, but sure enough the {8-Hearts} arrived on the river.
