Ido Aboudi Eliminated in 23rd ($10,277); Jason Riesenberg Eliminated in 24th Place ($8,433)
Jason Riesenberg was particularly short in chips, as Ido Aboudi had just doubled through him in the hand prior.
Riesenberg commited himself with a raise in early position and he was faced with a reraise from Ido Aboudi, who was on the button. Thomas Taylor then joined the fray by potting it in the blind. Riesenberg didn't have much of a choice and Aboudi put his remaining chips in play as well.
Jason Riesenberg: A?Q?9?8?
Ido Aboudi: A?A?5?5?
Thomas Taylor: K?K?6?7?
The board was a sweat for Riesenberg as it spread the 7?Q?6?, giving him top pair and a straight draw, Taylor also flopped two pair to pull ahead of the aces. The J? on the turn pulled Aboudi back ahead as he made his flush. The river, however, brought the 6?, making a boat for Taylor and a stunned Riesenberg made his way to the payouts, followed shortly by an equally stunned Aboudi.
