Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ryan Messick raised to 120,000 with {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Ali Eslami called out of the big blind with {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}. On the {k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop, Eslami check-called a bet worth 60,000 and they headed to the {3-Hearts} turn. Eslami bet 480,000 with just one chip behind and Messick snap-called and revealed the nuts without realizing Eslami was not all in. Knowing he was drawing dead, Eslami folded and saved his last 5,000.

In the very next hand, Eslami was all-in for the last 5,000 out of the big blind and Raul Garza limped in the cutoff, as did Robert Cowen on the button while Messick checked the option in the big blind. It checked to Cowen on the {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, who bet 160,000 and isolated.

Ali Eslami: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Robert Cowen: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

While Eslami had some outs even after the {8-Hearts} turn, the {6-Diamonds} river only improved Cowen to the ten-high straight and Eslami departed in fifth place for $50,000.
