Nick Kost Eliminated in 10th Place ($17,634)

Livello 30 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo

Action folded to Shaun Deeb in the small blind who limped. Nick Kost checked his option behind and the two saw a 2♥J♣Q♠ flop.

Deeb checked to Kost who tossed out a bet of 75,000 and was met with a check-raise of 275,000 from Deeb. Kost called to send both players to the A♥ turn.

Deeb led for 400,000 before Kost raised all in for around 2,000,000, getting met by a snap-call from Deeb to put Kost at risk with one card to come.

Nick Kost: K♦Q♥Q♣4♠
Shaun Deeb: K♥10♣8♦3♥

Deeb had the nuts going to the river with Kost needing the last queen in the deck or any deuce, jack or ace to finish the hand a winner but when it came the 4♦, Deeb scooped a massive pot and sent Kost home in 10th place for $17,634.
