Event 18: 8th Place - Siraj

$2500 + $200 Double Play NL Championship

Salah Siraj (New York, NY)
$31,435

Salah Siraj is all in for 420k and is called by Adam Cook.

Siraj; 9 8
Cook: Q J

Flop: 7♣ 2 2 (Cook leads, queen high)
Turn: A(Siraj picks up a flush draw - 8 outs)
River: 10

Siraj misses his heart flush draw and loses to queen high to finish in 8th place.

"I'm disappointed," says the IT business owner, "but I'm happy I played pretty well." Siraj sites losing two big pots as the difference between 8th place and a higher finish. One of the hands was when he held AK to Jason Deutsch's AQ, where Deutsch made a straight.

This is Siraj's first big cash at Borgata.

Siraj's elimination is the third knockout on just four hands played since the final table returned from dinner break.
