Gursel Ali Eliminated in 5th Place ($7,053)

Gursel Ali - 5th Place
Gursel Ali - 5th Place
Gursel Ali opened the action with a raise to 22,000 from the cutoff with Kenneth Damm making the call in the small blind.

The flop fell {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and Damm checked to Ali who casually slid his last 75,000 chips into the middle. Damm went into the tank for several minutes before making the call.

Damm: {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Ali: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

Ali held the lead with his top pair as Damm would need to improve. The turn changed nothing with the {3-Diamonds} but the {A-Spades} spiked on the river like a dagger through the heart of Gursel Ali to send him to the rail in 5th place for a collect of $7,053.
