Faiz the First Casualty
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On the first hand of the day, Abdullah Faiz got in his last 13,000 from under the gun on a flop of 2♦5♠Q♠, and Brian Cole put him at risk in the big blind.
Abdullah Faiz: A♣K♦Q♣10♣
Brian Cole: 9♠6♥4♣3♣
Faiz was ahead with top pair, but the 4♦ turn gave Cole a straight. The river was the 7♠, and Faiz was sent to the rail.
"I'm out!" he shouted out with a laugh as Faiz headed off to the payout desk, while this table quickly broke.
