Mehdi Chaoui Eliminated in 10th Place ($98,900)
Level 24
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
With Mehdi Chaoui forced all in from the small blind for his last 25,000, Eelis Parssinen opened to 800,000 in the cutoff. Eric Yanovsky made the call in the big blind, and checked the J♦7♣9♠ flop.
Parssinen continued for 425,000, and Yanovsky moved all in. That produced a quick fold from Parssinen, and Chaoui was at risk heads up.
Mehdi Chaoui: 4♥3♥
Eric Yanovsky: 10♥9♣
Yanovsky's pair of nines held through the K♦ turn and A♠ river, sending Chaoui out in 10th place.
That left the remaining nine players to combine for the final table.
