"Wow! We're old!"

Eli Elezra and Matt Glantz looked around the table at the other younger players in the field and Glantz commented, "If you get out Eli, I'm gonna feel like the oldest man ever."

Eli then asked the other three players how old they were and each of them stated that they were in their twenties.

Sam Farha Eliminated in 6th Place ($85,728)

Sam Farha - 6th Place
Sam Farha - 6th Place
Razz:

Anthony Rivera brings it in with a {J-?}, James Mackey completes showing a {5-?}, Sam Farha raises with a {5-?} up and the action is on Eli Elezra. He counts out his chips and asks a similarly short-stacked Farha for a count. Elezra has him covered by only a single 1,000 chip. Eli re-raises all in showing a {7-?}. Rivera folds, Mackey calls and Farha calls all in.

Mackey ({A-?} {2-?}) {5-?} {4-?} {A-?} {A-?} (x)

Farha ({4-?} {6-?}) {5-?} {Q-?} {K-?} {Q-?} (x)

Elezra ({5-?} {8-?}) {7-?} {6-?} {4-?} {9-?} ({8-?})

Mackey bricks big time, ultimately making trip aces despite picking up a wheel draw on fourth. Farha bricks as well and Elezra makes 8-7-6-5-4 to take it down and eliminate Farha. He'll take home $85,728 for his finish.
