Ebrahim Figueroa
Ebrahim Figueroa wanted to send out a “Happy Birthday” to his wife Lorna today.

Ebrahim Figueroa moved all in under the gun for 119,000, James Diaz called from the hijack, and Yefim Vakser called from the big blind.

The flop came 8c7h4s, Vakser bet 100,000, Diaz moved all in for 328,000, and Vakser asked for an exact count before he called.

All three players showed their cards:

Yefim Vakser:  Ad4d  (pair of fours)
James Diaz:  8s8d  (set of eights)
Ebrahim Figueroa:  Jc5c  (gutshot straight draw)

The turn card was the 5s, the river card was the 2d, and the set of eights held up for Diaz to scoop the entire pot, doubling thru Vakser and eliminating Figueroa in seventh place.

James Diaz  –  1,058,000  (35 bb)
Yefim Vakser  –  640,000  (21 bb)
Ebrahim Figueroa  –  Eliminated in 7th Place  ($4,215)

With six players remaining, the average chip stack is about 770,000 (26 big blinds), and the remaining players are all guaranteed to earn at least $5,460 each.
