  • Amer Sulaiman has been eliminated in 27th place by Thiago Nishijima.

    Amer opened the action with a min-raise from the UTG +1 position. Action folded around to Thiago who 3-bet to 68K. It continued to fold back to Amer who flat called.

    The flop was dealt: Jack of Clubs 8 of Hearts 7 of Clubs and Amer instantly open-shoved his last 128K. Thiago wasn’t happy about it, but in just a few seconds he called and flipped over a pocket pair 6 of Clubs 6 of Diamonds, while Amer turned over 8 of Spades 10 of Spades for a pair of eights.

    The turn 6 of Hearts was perfect for Thiago who made his set, and Amer got up from his seat and could only watch in futility as the Queen of Hearts couldn’t change his fate.

    27th place: Amer Sulaiman, $12,990
