Marko Trapani, Jr. is all in preflop with [QcJh] against the [As10h] of Ubaid Habib.

The board comes [9h5c4h5h9c], and Trapani turns a heart flush draw but improves no further. Habib wins the pot with the two pair on the board (nines and fives) and his ace kicker. 

Marko Trapani, Jr., son of the late Marko Trapani, Sr., is eliminated in 10th place. Trapani outlasted all 47 of the Shooting Stars in this, the tournament his father created so many years ago. A crowd favorite, he receives a nice round of applause after his elimination, followed by an interview for the WPT TV cameras.
