Scott Eskenazi Eliminated in 10th Place ($8,609)
Scott Eskenazi endured a roller-coaster ride after the break, as his chip stack went up and down.
He battled back for a double up early in Level 28 before getting involved in a hand in Level 29 against John Armbrust, who had one of the bigger stacks at the table.
Armbrust raised in early position, and then Eskenazi re-raised out of the small blind. With action back to him, Armburst made the call and both players saw 2♦2♣9♠ hit the board.
Eskenazi bet, and Armbrust called. With 10♠ on the turn. Eskenazi continued an aggressive line by betting, but Armbrust once again called.
The river produced 7♠, prompting Eskenazi to move all in with his remaining chips.
“I got there,” Armbrust said as he tabled A♠6♠ for the nut flush.
Eskenazi tapped the felt and tabled J♠J♥ as he was sent to the rail in 10th place for $8,609.
With the tournament down to nine, the players merged into a single table.
