Abe Mosseri Eliminated in 8th Place ($57,552)
It seemed only fitting that, at the end, Abe Mosseri should be out-drawn. He was out-drawn repeatedly in the hour that came after the dinner break, decimating his stack pot by pot. On his final hand, he was all in on a flop of against Richard Zhu. Zhu was behind with against Mosseri's . The that came on the turn gave Zhu some spade out to go with his low draw, but killed some of his two pair outs. One two pair out it didn't kill was the that hit the river. Zhu improved to aces and queens against Mosseri's aces and nines to mercifully end Mosseri's run.
Mosseri pounded the table rail when he saw the river. Then he stood up, looked back at the board, shook his head and smiled a rueful smile.
"Wow. I tell ya," he said. "Wow. 1.1 [million chips] after dinner."
Mosseri leaves with $57,552 in prize money.
