Issam Abbas Eliminated in 14th Place ($26,076)

Issam Abbas
Issam Abbas
In early position, Mihai Manole puts in a raise to 30,000. He gets two callers, Abbas and Taft, and the three men go to the flop.

It comes {8-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {9-Clubs}. Check. Check. Check.

Fourth street brings the {9-Spades}. Manole leads out into the pot with a bet of 50,000. After taking a few moments to deliberate, Abbas jams it up to 150,000. Taft folds. Manole calls.

River: {J-Hearts}. Manole passes the bet this time, and Abbas moves all in for approximately 170,000. Manole makes the snap call, showing down {K-Spades} {J-Spades}. Abbas frustratingly tables {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}, as he stands up and makes his departure from the table.

With his 14th-place finish, Issam Abbas takes home a little over $26,000.
