Dylan Foster Eliminated in 46th Place by Amin Riyazati ($12,200)

Level 19: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000

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.
