Michael Abdoulah Eliminated in 17th ($29,776)

Michael Abdoulah - 17th Place
Michael Abdoulah - 17th Place

Joseph Curcio opened the pot before Michael Abdoulah re-raised to 218,000 (all in) from the small blind. Ali Alawadhi called all in and Curcio folded.

Abdoulah: {a-Spades}{2-Spades}
Alawadi: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Abdoulah made a pair when the dealer flopped {3-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, but deuces would not suffice. The turn ({10-Spades}) and river ({9-Spades}) both bricked off, and Abdoulah was crippled to around 20,000 chips.

Abdoulah doubled once before moving all in for his remaining 63,000. Mike Wattel called from the big blind.

Abdoulah: {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Wattel: {k-Hearts}{4-Spades}

The board ran {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Wattel's king-high was good enough for the knockout.
