Dekel Balas Eliminated in 7th Place ($31,100)

Level 28

Dekel Balas

Stud Hi-Lo

Dekel Balas was down to his last 180,000, before play switched from Omaha Hi-Lo to Stud Hi-Lo. In the first hand, he had to bring in, and was left with just 120,000. He was unlucky enough to catch the lowest card again the hand after, and this time he opted to complete all-in. Eddie Blumenthal raised, and everybody else folded.

Dekel Balas: A7/21094/Q
Eddie Blumenthal: 1010/46Q5/8

Blumenthal's tens in the hole were enough all the way, as Balas' board ran out leaving him with just ace high. He had a draw to the low on sixth, but bricked, sending him to the rail in seventh.
