Photo: Nicolas Fraioli gives an interview to the WPT cameras after his elimination.
Hafiz Khan raises to 22,000 from under the gun and Nicolas Fraioli moves all-in for 66,000 total. Action folds back around to Khan and he starts to think.
Khan tells Fraioli, "I don’t want to put a bad on you, send you home."
"Thats life," Fraioli responds with a chuckle. Khan thinks about it a little while longer, then calls.
Fraioli turns over [Kh10c] and Khan shows the superior [As4s].
"Now I give you a bad beat," Fraioli jokes with Khan.
Fraioli isn’t able to deliver that bad beat though, as the [Qs8s8h5s]9x board is no help to Fraioli and he is eliminated.
Hafiz Khan – 1,700,000 (170 BBs)
Nicolas Fraioli – eliminated
