Omar Gaedah Eliminated In 2nd Place (US$308,000); Nabil Matta Wins!

Omar Gaedah - 2nd Place
Omar Gaedah - 2nd Place
With the action on Omar Geadah on the button, he pushed all in for just over 900,000 in chips.

Nabil Matta asked for a count, and after a minute of looking up Geadah's stack he made the call.

Matta: {9-Hearts}{8-Spades}
Gaedah: {J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

With the crowd pressed right up to the stage and everyone cheering loudly, they would see a flop of {9-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} fall to push Gaedah squarely in the lead.

Matta walked round to Gaedah to shake his hand, but Gaedah quickly pulled his hand away and stated, "I need a ten" as everyone looked on to see the turn drop the {J-Hearts}.

With still a sweat in place for everyone in the La Salle des Ambassadeurs, the river for Gaedah would unfortunately drop the {3-Spades} to see him fall in second place but collect $308,000 in the process.
