Phil Laak Eliminated by Nimer Ltaif

Phil Laak raises UTG+1 to 1,200, Nimer Ltaif reraises from the cutoff to 2,700, and Laak calls. The flop comes [Jh9c2d], Laak checks, Ltaif bets 4,300, and Laak check-raises to 10,050, leaving himself about 5,000 behind.

Ltaif reraises, and Laak calls all in for about 15,000 with [10h8h] (open-ended straight draw). Ltaif turns over [QcQd] for an overpair, and Laak will need to improve to stay alive.

The turn card pairs the board with the [9h], which gives Laak additional outs to a heart flush and an open-ended straight-flush draw.

The river card double-pairs the board with the [Jd], and Nimer Ltaif wins the pot with two pair, queens and jacks, to eliminate Phil Laak from the tournament.

Nimer Ltaif  –  53,000  (66 bb)
Phil Laak  –  Eliminated
