Ari Engel

Ari Engel was all in preflop for 5,000 and three other players came along to see the flop dealt AhAc5d for 60,000 a pop. The three players checked thru to the turn, which fell 6h, and then Rick Alvarado opened the action with a bet of 100,000 under the gun.

Michael Bittan and Vlad Mezheritsky both folded and the two remaining players revealed their hands. Engel held 9h4s and he was behind the AsJh of Alvarado. The river delivered the 7s and that was it for Engel, who was eliminated from the tournament. Alvarado stacked up 1.6 million after the hand.

Rick Alvarado  –  1,600,000  (53 bb)
Ari Engel  –  Eliminated in 23rd Place  ($30,000)
