Ibrahim Flipped Out of the Tournament

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 200 ante

Anthony "AI_Rising" Ibrahim opened for 4,000 from early position only to have Andrew "SheriffGary" Smith three-bet to 12,000 next to act. Action folded back to Ibrahim and he moved all in for 37,901. Smith called and the hands were turned up.

Anthony "AI_Rising" Ibrahim: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Andrew "SheriffGary" Smith: {k-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

It was a flip and Ibrahim was looking to hold to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, that proved easier said than done as the board ran out {k-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Spades} and that was all she wrote for Ibrahim.

The board ran out without drama {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{k-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Taylor was sent away.
