Ido Aboudi Eliminated in 23rd ($10,277); Jason Riesenberg Eliminated in 24th Place ($8,433)

Jason Riesenberg was particularly short in chips, as Ido Aboudi had just doubled through him in the hand prior.

Riesenberg commited himself with a raise in early position and he was faced with a reraise from Ido Aboudi, who was on the button. Thomas Taylor then joined the fray by potting it in the blind. Riesenberg didn't have much of a choice and Aboudi put his remaining chips in play as well.

Jason Riesenberg: A♠Q♠9♣8♥
Ido Aboudi: A♣A♥5♣5♥
Thomas Taylor: K♦K♥6♠7♦

The board was a sweat for Riesenberg as it spread the 7♣Q♥6♥, giving him top pair and a straight draw, Taylor also flopped two pair to pull ahead of the aces. The J♥ on the turn pulled Aboudi back ahead as he made his flush. The river, however, brought the 6♣, making a boat for Taylor and a stunned Riesenberg made his way to the payouts, followed shortly by an equally stunned Aboudi.
