Eslami Finally Sent Home in Flurry of Post-Dinner Eliminations

Ali Eslami's run toward the money after coming back from a single chip has fallen short.

He recently left the tournament floor, with his executioner Ziya Rahim, who's working on his own comeback story after being down to less than a big bet on Day 1, telling the tale.

Eslami put in his last 10,000 chips and was raised by Rahim. The rest of the table folded.

Eslami started with / against Rahim's /.

By the time the boards were completed, Rahim had made threes full of aces while Eslami had two pair, aces over fours, sending the $1,500 champion home short of the money.

Andrew Brown and Jason Gola were also eliminated at adjacent tables, bringing the field to a three-table redraw.
