Naseem Salem Eliminated in 20th Place

Level 16 : 25,000/50,000, 0 ante
Naseem Salem - 20th place
Naseem Salem - 20th place

Stud

Naseem Salem was all in on third street against Jean-Robert Bellande. Each player's board ran out as follows:

Salem: {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} / {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} / {3-Clubs}
Bellande: {Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} / {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs} / {Q-Spades}

Although Salem's split fives improved to tens up, it would be Bellande's flush in five that would end Salem's run in the Poker Players Championship in 20th place.
