Rami Boukai Eliminated in 13th Place ($11,485)


Rami Boukai, winner of Event No. 10 ($2,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em/Pot-Limit Omaha), had a hard time keeping his stack from slipping during the first level-and-a-half today. Having slipped below 50,000, Boukai finally found a Stud/8 hand to which to commit, having picked up A-3-4. He also found an opponent in Trai Dang who had Q-Q-9.
All of Boukai's chips were in on third street. Dang would eventually draw another pair -- sixes -- to go with his queen, while Boukai couldn't draw either a low hand or a high to beat Boukai's two pair.
Boukai is out, and Dang is now back up to 165,000.
