Blackman Loses His Race and His Tournament Life

Scott Blackman
Scott Blackman
Scott Blackman is the next player to be eliminated. He was short-stacked and all in with {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs} against Jake Abdalla's {8-Clubs} {8-Spades}. The player in the big blind, who was last to act in the hand, open-mucked the other two eights, {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}. But that was no problem for Abdalla; his eights held against Blackman's hand on board of {7-Spades} {2-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} to secure the knockout.

Blackman goes home as the 154th-place finisher in the 2009 Main Event.
