Charbel Salloum Elimianted in 10th Place ($19,650)

Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Dawid Smolka min raised to 200,000 from the cutoff and Charbel Salloum defended out of the big blind.
When the flop came down 10?5?8? Salloum shoved all of his 850,000 into the middle. Smolka thought it over for a while before making the call.
Charbel Salloum: K?10?
Dawid Smolka: Q?J?
Salloum was ahead with top pair, but Smolka had a lot of outs to send him to the rail just shy of the final table. The 9? turn improved Smolka to the nuts with a straight and left Salloum drawing dead. An inconsequential 8? landed on the river, and Salloum was the final table bubble boy of the $5,300 High Roller.
