David Oppenheim Eliminated in 9th Place ($142,197)

No-Limit Hold'em

David Oppenheim was all in for the ante from the small blind for his last 1,000. Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi raised to 50,000 from middle position and action folded to Luke Schwartz in the big blind. He called.

The flop was {9-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Schwartz checked. Mizrachi went to bet, but Schwartz quickly mucked his hand and left Mizrachi heads up with the at-risk Oppenheim.

Oppenheim tabled the {J-Spades}{10-Spades} for two overs and a straight draw. Mizrachi held the {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

Although he had plenty of outs to stay, Oppenheim couldn't spike it after the {6-Spades} fell on the turn and the {3-Clubs} on the river. On the turn, he picked up more outs with a flush draw, but it wasn't meant to be.

Oppenheim exited in ninth place and has earned the title of "final table bubble boy." In 2010 when Oppenheim made the final table of this event and finished in third, Mizrachi won the event and was the one to eliminate Oppenheim.

Oppenheim took home $142,197 for his finish while all of the remaining players got ready to bag and tag, locking up a final table berth and at least $169,879.
