Mo Fathipour Out in 9th Place
Posted: Sun, Dec 03, 06, 9:01 AM
Fathipour was knocked out by Rhoads when he moved all in with Ks-2s. With a bounty of chips, Rhoads had no problem calling 30,000 with 10d-5h. The board came Jd-3d-2d, giving Rhoads a flush draw, but Fathipour only needed to hold onto his pair of deuces to double up. The turn was the 9s, but the river was the 5s, giving Rhoads a higher pair and sending Fathipour to the rail in 9th place. He’ll take home $11,325.

Farber was on the button with pocket Jh-Jc, and Alsharairi was in late position with Qd-Qc in the hole. Leading in chips, Alsharairi went all in before the flop and Farber called. Unfortunately, a board of 9s-8s-2h-3h-5d gave Alsharairi the advantage going into and coming out of the hand. He doubled through Farber.
