John Tabatabai Eliminated in 7th Place (£17,318)
With all eyes on Willie Tann, it was actually John Tabatabai who felt the splash of the bubble, the young British pro unable to make his second WSOPE final to date.
The assassin was Chris Bjorin, as silent as always, and kick-starting the action with a raise of 11,500 from under the gun. Andrew Pantling made the call, only for Tabatabai to make it 30,000 straight one seat along.
Back round to Bjorin who announced all-in. Pantling folded, but Tabatbai made the call.
Tabatabai:
Bjorin:
Eye-brows were raised on the flop, but it was a merely a tease, as the turn and river came and to send Tabatabai home.
Tabatabai had played a steady game, but when he needed Lady Luck, she was absent without leave.
