On the river with a board of JdTs2h2dTd Steven McKoy was all-in.  After some thought, Chance Kornuth called.

After Eli Elezra got all-in for 99k with a call from Nathan Bjerno, Elliott Zaydman spent a minute in the tank, contemplating what to do with his short stack.

He eventually decided to commit his last chips with QhTh.  Too bad for his, Eli had AsQc to dominate and Nathan had KhJh to kill his flush hopes.

The board ran out Qd9d6h5h3c and Eli scooped the pot, nearly tripling up.  Elliott hit the door in 32nd place, earning $9,800.
