Abou Risk Eliminates Fielder and Belanger

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We saw World Series of Poker Circuit Choctaw Durant Main Event champ Jeff Fielder exiting the tournament floor, which is usually an indication that that player was recently eliminated. Sure enough, a quick check with Ari Engel confirmed it.

According to him, action folded to Nick Abou Risk on the button and he opened for a standard raise. Fielder then three-bet all in for around 20 big blinds with {Q-}{10-} from the small blind and Abou Risk made the call with {A-}{J-}. Abou Risk's hand held and he was pushed the pot.

As we were being told this story, Abou Risk actually eliminated Jason Belanger, who got his stack in with the {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. Abou Risk woke up with the {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and that was all she wrote for Belanger as his kicker proved inferior in the end.

Meanwhile, Joel Tushnet has also been eliminated from the tournament.
