Ben Sriqui

After Ben Sriqui sent a double to Scott Jordan earlier, he was down to 510,000 and open-shoved for his stack from the button. Alan Wentz called in the small blind and Scott Jordan called in the big.

Both live players checked down the board until it read Qc3c2c3h9h and Jordan bet 200,000. Wentz folded, Jordan showed 9s9d for the rivered full house and Sriqui’s As8h was not good enough to keep him in the game.

Scott Jordan – 2,900,000 (29 bb)
Ben Sriqui – Eliminated in 7th Place ($5,646)
