Assadourian Eliminated

Raymond Walker
Raymond Walker
Eric Assadourian came into today's Main Event flight fresh off his win last night in the Omaha preliminary event, which was good for NZD $12,000. His tournament today though, came to an abrupt halt early on.

Assadourian and his opponent, Raymond Walker, got into some preflop raising action before both players saw the flop come {6-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {3-Spades}. Walker bet 1,300 and Assadourian shoved all in for about 8,000 total. Walker made the call.

Walker {J-?} {J-?}
Assadourian {K-?} {K-?}

The turn was the {8-Hearts} and the river hit the {J-Diamonds}, giving Walker his two outer and the win. Walker slapped his hands together, but then shook the hand of Assadourian, who, understandably, didn't seem pleased with the way things turned out.
