Dylan Foster Eliminated in 46th Place by Amin Riyazati ($12,200)
The second short stack in a row exits from table three. First to go is Amit Kaushik after a torrid second level and Dylan Foster then hits the rail against fellow Aussie Amin Riyazati, who currently leads the Player of the Festival ranking as well.
Foster jams for 105,000 and Riyazati in the big blind has not looked at his cards yet. He peels the first one, which is the K♠ and says "the first one is good". The second card is, too, as it's the K♦ .
Foster has a mountain to climb with J♦ T♦ and Riyazati flops a full house on the A♥ A♠ K♥ 9♦ 4♣ board.
"This is the last thing I want," Riyazati sighs before both embrace and part ways.

Yukako Hiroi vs. Dylan Foster

Dylan Foster opens to 6,500 in the cutoff and Yukako Hiroi calls on the button, all other players fold. Foster checks the 4♥ 3♦ 2♠ flop and then calls a bet worth10,000. They check the 7♣ on the turn and Foster also checks the A♣ on the river.
Hiroi bets 30,000 and wins the pot uncontested.
"Don't write that one down," the always jovial Foster tells the live reporting team. He sits comfortably above the average and Hiroi also just chips up above that threshold.
