Zaher Sayegh Eliminated in 9th Place ($35,872)
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Zaher Sayegh was late to the final table, and once he arrived, his stay was brief as he only played one hand before being eliminated.
Edwin Huston raised from early position before Sayegh raised all in from middle position. The table folded back to Huston, who called to send them to a showdown.
Zaher Sayegh: 10♠10♦
Edwin Huston: A♣K♦
Sayegh maintained his lead on the 8♥Q♥9♥ flop, and the 10♣ turn was a welcome sight as it upgraded Sayegh to a set of tens, but it did provide Huston with straight outs. The J♣ smacked the river to finish Sayegh's run in the tournament. Sayegh earned $35,872 for his ninth-place finish.
