Salloum Falls Before End of the Day

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

Charbel Salloum raised to 20,000 from the middle position and was called by Daniel Jordi in the cutoff and Paul Evans on the button.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, Salloum bet 30,000, Jordi raised to 70,000, and Evans folded. Salloum responded with a shove. Jordi asked for a count. The dealer confirmed Salloum had 170,000. Jordi asked how much more it would be.

"100 more," the dealer confirmed.

Jordi counted out his bet and looked a bit confused. The rest of the table clarified again that it would be 100,000 more. Jordi then decided to make the call.

Charbel Salloum: {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
Daniel Jordi: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The rest of the board was completed with the {10-Hearts} on the turn and the {2-Spades} on the river to sent Salloum to the rail.

One more player needs to be eliminated before the day can end.
