Emad Tahtouh Eliminated in 14th Place ($9,000)

Emad Tahtouh - 14th Place
Emad Tahtouh - 14th Place
Carl Booth raised from early position to 40,000 and Emad Tahtouh defended his big blind with a call.

The flop landed {5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Tahtouh checked to Booth who fired 40,000. Tahtouh then check-raised to 140,000 before Booth moved all in. Tahtouh had just over 400,000 in total and decided to make the call.

Tahtouh: {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Booth: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

It was top pair, top kicker for Tahtouh but Booth had the overpair with his jacks. The turn was the {6-Hearts} and river the {2-Clubs} to leave Tahtouh heading for the rail in 14th place as Booth is up over 1.5 million in chips!
