Ron Lewis raises from the small blind, Abe Aboukhalil reraises from the big blind, and Lewis calls.
The flop comes Q8
8
, Lewis checks, Aboukhalil bets 130,000, and Lewis moves all in.
Aboukhalil tanks for a while before he calls all in for about 470,000 with JJ
for two pair, jacks and eights. But Lewis turns over A
Q
for a higher two pair, queens and eights, and Aboukhalil needs to improve to stay alive.
The turn is the 10, giving Aboukhalil a gutshot straight draw, but the river card pairs the board with the 10
. Lewis wins the pot with two pair, queens and tens, to eliminate Aboukhalil from the tournament.
Ron Lewis – 1,510,000 (125 bb)
Abe Aboukhalil – Eliminated in 30th Place ($24,030)
