Yousef Zeibaq Eliminated in 5th Place ($13,836)

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Alex Luxenberg opened from the cutoff, Men Nguyen three-bet to 700,000 from the small blind and Yousef Zeibaq called his 440,000 stack all-in from the big blind.

Luxenberg called and the dealer spread out {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{10-Hearts} on the flop. Both players checked to the {3-Clubs} turn card where Nguyen fired in 250,000. A {9-Diamonds} landed on the river, Nguyen bet 500,000 and Luxenberg quickly pushed in 2,000,000.

Nguyen folded, sending the side to Luxenberg who tabled {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for three dimes. Zeibaq looked of disgust as he turned over {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, falling short of a triple up as he was eliminated in fifth place.

Nguyen showed {7-Spades}{4-Hearts} for a pair of sevens with the flush draw and was ahead when Patel tabled his {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, giving him nine-high. The {2-Clubs} river did not alter a thing as Nguyen scooped the pot, eliminating Patel from the tournament.
