Tilton Falls to Eslami on Seventh

Level 19

Ali Eslami completed, Matt Grapenthien called, James Tilton raised all-in for an even 50,000, and both opponents called.

James Tilton: 73 / 5K99 / Xx All in
Ali Eslami: 53 / 22AJ / Xx
Matt Grapenthien: XxXx / 34K - folded on fifth street

Fourth street checked through on the side pot, and Grapenthien folded to a bet from Eslami on fifth.

Going into the final card, Tilton was ahead with nines against the deuces and low draw of Eslami. Tilton caught the Q on seventh for no improvement, but Eslami flipped over the A, and his two pair was enough to send Tilton to the rail.
