Damien Steel Eliminates Benjamin Zamani

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Ben Zamani, who currently leads the World Poker Tour Player of the Year Race after amassing three final tables — including two second-place finishes — was just eliminated from the tournament.

He got his last 56,000 all in holding the {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and found himself flipping against Damien Steel's {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. The {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts} flop didn't do much, but the {J-Diamonds} turn gave Zamani the lead. Unfortunately for him, he made two pair on the {Q-Spades} river, which also gave Steel a winning straight.
