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.
