Event 16: Dylan Wilkerson Eliminated by Amir Babakhani

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em Shootout (Freeze-out)
Level 5: 150/300 with a 50 ante
Players: 70

Amir Babakhani opened with a raise from the cutoff, and Dylan Wilkerson three-bet to 1,800 on the button. Babakhani called.

The flop was JcTc3d. Babakhani checked, and Wilkerson continued for 1,600. Babakhani check-raised all in, and Wilkerson called all in for about 14,000 total, putting himself at risk.

Babakhani: 8c9c (straight-flush draw)
Wilkerson: TsTd (set of tens)

The 2c turn filled Babakhani’s flush, and Wilkerson needed the board to pair to avoid elimination. The river was the blank 9h, though, and Babakhani won the knockout pot with a jack-high flush. Wilkerson was eliminated.

Amir Babakhani – 43,000
Dylan Wilkerson – Eliminated
