Kfir Nahum raised to 215,000, and was called by Ana Freitas on the button, and Ahmed Taleb in the small blind.
The trio checked a flop through, and Taleb led for 375,000 on the turn, getting called by only Freitas.
Taleb checked the river, and Freitas snap-jammed for 820,000. Taleb went into the tank for about a minute, then called for around two-thirds of his remaining stack.

Freitas tabled for the nuts, and Taleb could only show for a pair of jacks, and Freitas scored the double.
Two hands later, Taleb ripped his last 450,000 from the cutoff, and after confirming the amount was called by Matthias De Cercq in the big blind.

Taleb found no love on a board and the former MSPT Champion takes his leave in eighth place.

Ahmed Taleb – Eliminated in eighth place for $18,545
