Abe Aboukhalil Out in 30th Place ($24,030)

Mar 12, 2015

Ron Lewis raises from the small blind, Abe Aboukhalil reraises from the big blind, and Lewis calls.

The flop comes Qdiamond8heart8club, Lewis checks, Aboukhalil bets 130,000, and Lewis moves all in.

Aboukhalil tanks for a while before he calls all in for about 470,000 with JspadeJclub for two pair, jacks and eights. But Lewis turns over AclubQspade for a higher two pair, queens and eights, and Aboukhalil needs to improve to stay alive.

The turn is the 10diamond, giving Aboukhalil a gutshot straight draw, but the river card pairs the board with the 10heart. Lewis wins the pot with two pair, queens and tens, to eliminate Aboukhalil from the tournament.

Ron Lewis  –  1,510,000  (125 bb)
Abe Aboukhalil  –  Eliminated in 30th Place  ($24,030)
