  • Tanveer was the chip leader for much of the tournament, but chipped down quite a bit towards the end of Day 2 and couldn’t make a comeback today. Just a few minutes after his neighbour in Seat 10 was eliminated, Tanveer followed him to the cashier to get paid.

    Tanveer’s final hand:

    Benoit raised to 51K from middle position, and Tanveer reraised to 113K. Benoit responded by shoving and Tanveer called for his tournament life.
