Nizar Comaty opened to 7,000 from middle position. Paul Tedeschi to his left called, as well as the big blind.
Comaty bet 16,000 on the 9♦J♦Q♦ flop then fired a second barrel of 25,000 on the 4♥ turn. Tedeschi was the only one to call on the flop, and raised to 75,000 turn. Comaty went into the tank and seemed to have no choice but to call for his last 51,000.
Nizar Comaty: 10♦10♠
Paul Tedeschi: A♠Q♣
Comaty had a pair and a straight flush draw against Tedeschi's top pair, but the 3♣ didn't change anything and he was eliminated.
