Ami Alibay got his chips in when they counted, and his took out Noy U, who unfortunately also had a fantastic hand, just at the wrong time.

Noy’s were ultimately powerless against Ami’s aces. The board confirmed Noy’s worst fears when it was dealt . He is the first player eliminated from the final table, and was not the short stack by any means. Ami now finds himself with a significant chip boost, the actual short stacks can breathe a sigh of relief, and we are now down to the final eight players.

Congratulations go out to Noy for an excellent tournament, his ninth place finish earns him $2,080.
