Ablahad Salim Eliminated in 5th Place ($193,000)
Level 37
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Action folded around to Buck Bucceri in the small blind, who moved all in to put Ablahad Salim in the big blind at risk. Salim, who was down to about 2,300,000, made the call.
Ablahad Salim: J♣J♥
Buck Bucceri: K♣Q♥
Bucceri pulled ahead on the 7♦5♥Q♣ flop, pairing his queen. The 9♦ turn and K♠ river offered no help to Salim, and his impressive tournament run came to an end.
At almost 89 years old, and the oldest player left in the field, Salim was congratulated by his fellow tablemates before making his exit.
