With about 12K in the pot, six players saw a flop of 9d6s4c. Evan Teitelbaum moved his short stack all in from the big blind, and Sam Rashid thought for a while before raising UTG to 21,600. Pavlin Karakikov folded UTG+1, and Eyal Al-Revah quickly reraised to 43,900.

The other players fold, and Rashid snap-calls.

Eyal Al-Revah:  6d6c  (set of sixes)
Sam Rashid:  9h9c  (set of nines)
Evan Teitelbaum:  9s5c  (pair of nines)

The turn card was the Js, the river card was the Jh, and Rashid scooped the entire pot with the highest full house, nines full of jacks, to double thru Al-Revah and eliminate Teitelbaum.

Sam Rashid  –  150,000  (188 bb)
Evan Teitelbaum  –  Eliminated
