Tam Truong Eliminated in 10th Place (AU$18,970/$12,840)

RazorSharpPro

Level 16 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The final table is set with the elimination of Tam Truong, who fell at the hands of Ehsan Amiri to bring the field down to nine. Amiri lit the fuse with an under-the-gun raise to 20,000, Geroge Mitri called from one seat over, Adrian Attenborough then called from the button and Michael Doumani called in the small blind.

Sitting in the big blind, Truong pulled the trigger for 92,000 in total and Amiri now had a decision to make. Eventually, he elected to just flat call and both Mitri and Attenborough folded. Doumani looked like he was tempted, but did not want to flip with two players and eventually folded - telling PokerNews after the hand he had pocket fives.

Now the action was heads-up both players revealed their hole cards and Truong was on his feet awaiting his fate.

Tam Truong:
Ehsan Amiri:

The runout came to give both players a piece, but unfortunately for Truong, his was not as good as Amiri's and he hit the rail in tenth, narrowly missing out on making a final table appearance.
