Ghafoor Eliminated by Pihela on Third Hand of the Day

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

The words "all in and call" were heard shortly after the day began, and Igor Pihela was seen claiming a pot against Farook Ghafoor, leaving Ghafoor with a single black T-100 chip on the third hand of the day.

On the completed board of {10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{j-Spades}{a-Clubs}, Ghafoor held {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, while Pihela held {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for a superior straight to take the chip lead very early in the day.

"I have to take a photo... every year same thing," Ghafoor lamented. "Nice hand."

Ghafoor had gotten his last chip in soon after and was showing down after Pihela bet out his opponents on the turn of the {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} board.

Farook Ghafoor: {j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Igor Pihela: {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The {6-Diamonds} completed the board to change nothing, and Ghafoor ultimately fell against another straight held by Pihela.

"Good luck," Ghafoor wished his opponents as he made his exit from the table.
