Ryan Abed Eliminated in 9th Place (150,000 MAD)
Level 30
: Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Ryan Abed opened to 250,000 from middle position. Action folded to Mounim Kaddouri in the big blind, who opted to defend.
The 4♦2♥5♦ flop saw him check over to Abed, who threw in a continuation-bet of 175,000. Mounim check-raised to 475,000, and Abed moved all in for 2,275,000. Kaddouri snap-called.
Ryan Abed: A♦6♦
Mounim Kaddouri: A♣3♥
Abed had a gutshot and flush draw, but Kaddouri's wheel was ahead for now. Looking for a diamond or five, the 4♥8♥ runout was not what the doctor ordered for Abed, as he became the first elimination of the Final Table.
