No-Limit Hold'em

Speaking to Shaun Deeb, he detailed to us on how Daniel Alaei was eliminated.

During No-Limit Hold'em, Alaei opened to 4,500 from middle position, and Christopher Kruk defended from the big blind.

The flop landed {9-}{4-}{3-} with two hearts and Kruk checked to Alaei who bet 5,000. Kruk responded with a check-raise to 15,000, and when the action returned to Alaei, he moved all in for roughly 60,000, and Kruk called.

Kruk: {9-}{8-}
Alaei: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The turn of the {A-} changed little, but when the {8-} completed the board on the river, Alaei was eliminated.
