Reese Out in 10th; Final Table Set!

Scott Reese - 10th place finisher
Scott Reese - 10th place finisher
Shortly after the ten remaining finalists broke to a single table, tenth place was decided in a monstrous hand that saw Scott Reese eliminated from the tournament by tournament chip leader Edward Sabat.

Action folded around to Sabat, who opened with a 22,000 raise; Reese was the lone caller. The flop came {6-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and Sabat passed the first action to Reese, who put in a min-bet of 8,000. Sabat then check-raised to 38,000 -- a bet that was countered by another min-raise from Reese, who made it 68,000 to go. Sabat finalized the raising by putting Reese to a decision for all of his chips. Forget decisions, however; Reese insta-called, tabling {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for trip queens, but Sabat had him in bad shape with {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

The turn and river, though they had no impact on the end result, came {J-Spades}, {4-Clubs}, and Sabat took down the pot, extending his chip lead over the other eight players who will join him at tomorrow’s final table.

Reese took home $11,309 for his tenth-place finish.
