Josh Schlein raises preflop and is called by both players. The flop comes Q92 and all players check. The turn is the Ks and Buchman checks. Abolfathi bets the $30,000 and Schlein calls all in. Buchman folds and Schlein shows K5. However, Abolfathi turns over pocket deuces for a set. Schlein is drawing dead and is eliminated from the tournament in 3rd place.
