Radwan Khuri - 13th Place
Radwan Khuri - 13th Place

Action folded to the Day 1 chip leader Radwan Khuri on the button and he raised all in for 135,000. In the small blind, Jim McCrink made the call.

Khuri held the {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and was up against the very powerful {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} for McCrink. The flop, turn and river ran out {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{J-Clubs} to bust Khuri in 13th place.

This finish marked the third World Series of Poker cash on record for Khuri and he took home nearly $30,000. It's the largest WSOP cash he's ever recorded and the second biggest payday of his poker career.

Carolyn Tulloch Eliminated in 10th Place ($37,672)

Carolyn Tulloch - 10th place
Carolyn Tulloch - 10th place

Carolyn Tulloch raised it up to 125,000 and managed to find a caller in Stuart Spear. The rest of the table folded and we were all witness the {9-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop. It was here that Tulloch moved all in for around 250,000 and Spear made the call.

Tulloch: {J-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Spear: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Spear flopped two pair giving Tulloch not much wiggle room, she was going to need the board to pair or a jack to stay alive here today. The {A-Spades} on the turn changed nothing, and the {7-Spades} on the river sealed the deal and Tulloch was eliminated.
