Bob Patel Eliminated in 39th Place ($32,740)

Bob Patel was recently eliminated from the Main Event by big stack Kofi Farkye. We caught up to the hand on the turn after Patel had moved all in with the board showing {10-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {5-Clubs}. Farkye made the call and tabled {Q-Clubs} {9-Clubs} for a flush; Patel was behind but not dead, drawing to a full house or quads holding some variation of {J-?} {7-?}.

The river blanked ({3-Spades}) and Farkye raked in the pot, shooting him back up to 950,000 in chips. Patel will take home a respectable $32,740 in prize money for his efforts.
