Sami Bechahed Eliminated in 8th Place ($29,600)
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Action slowly folded around the table to Braxton Dunaway who opened to 120,000 on the button. Sami Bechahed moved all in from the big blind for his remaining ~880,000 and Dunaway snap called.
Sami Bechahed: K♣Q♣
Braxton Dunaway: A♥9♥
Bechahed needed to improve to stay in the tournament, and things were looking up after he found a queen on the 5♣3♥Q♥ flop.
His lead didn't last long, though, as Dunaway stole back the pot after hitting his flopped flush draw on the K♥ turn. It did give Bechahed a chance to hunt down a boat, but the 9♣ river card wasn't any help, and he was sent to the rail in eighth place.
