Aces Treat Turkzadeh Right; Sinaei Eliminated

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player went all in from under the gun for about 28,000 and Amir Turkzadeh shoved over the top from his direct left. Action folded around to JC Tran who was in the big blind and asked for a count.

Turkzadeh took the initiative, cutting out his stack to its total of 35,500. Tran thought for a bit from across the table in the nine-seat and eventually lifted up his cards about five inches off the table and set them down directly on top of the muck pile that was to his left.

All-In Player: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Amir Turkzadeh: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

The flop came {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, leaving Turkzadeh firmly out in front. He picked up a small sweat on the turn {8-Hearts}, but the river fell {8-Diamonds} and he secured the knockout.

"Oh my goodness, JC! Quads! I folded pocket eights!" exclaimed Billy Le, telling Tran who had just spent time himself debating whether or not to commit chips.

"Hey!" said Turkzadeh as he collected the pot. "We don't believe poker players!"

The table chimed in, quasi-agreeing. After all was said and done, the general consensus was that Le liked to tell stories, but he did not lie.

Meanwhile, the seat formerly occupied by Farhad Sinaei on an adjacent table has recently been vacated. Sinaei found himself grinding out a 20 big-blind stack throughout the entirety of the day and it appears his luck ran dry shortly before the the beginning of the penultimate level of the day.
