Eights Into Nines Sends Noori to the Rail
Chris Swan opened for two bets and cleared the field around to Michael Noori in the big blind, who promptly three-bet. Swan, who knew his opponent was short, out in the four-bet and Noori called off his remaining 5,000.

"He's even got a diamond," a resigned Noori said after the 
flop. The 
turn gave both players a flush, though Swan's nine was higher. "I still have one out," Noori pointed out in reference to the 
. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards as the 
appeared on the river. Noori finished in 24th place and will take home $6,652 for his efforts.
