Tark Abboud Eliminated in 15th Place ($12,213)

Tark Abboud got things started with a raise to 6,200 from the cutoff seat. Carter Gill folded the button, but both Joel Micka and Michael Collins called from the blinds.

The three-way flop came down {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {3-Hearts}. The blinds checked it over to the raiser, and Abboud continued out with 10,500 chips. "I raise," said Micka quietly, without moving. After a momentary pause, he reached for 23,000 chips and flipped them into the pot. Collins folded, and action was back on Abboud. He thought for just a minute before moving all in, and Micka instantly called him.

Showdown:
Micka: {3-Spades} {3-Hearts}
Abboud: {10-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

Caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar, Abboud was looking for running straight cards to stay alive. The {9-Hearts} on the turn sealed his fate, leaving him drawing dead to the {2-Diamonds} on the river. He ships close to 100,000 chips over to Joel Micka, who is now the commanding chip leader.
