Big Stax 500 (Day 3): 10th Place - Abi-Zeid ($3,914)

Level 26 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 9

George Abi-zeid (Miller Place, NY)
10th Place - $3,914

Joe Black continues his reign at the final table, as he sends home George Abi-zeid in 10th place, the only elimination during Level 26.  All the chips got in on the turn:

Abi-zeid: A♣ 10♣         Black: Q 10

Board: 5♣ Q♣ 6♠ 10♥

River: 10♦

Although Joe had a firm grip on the hand when the chips went in (turning two pair), Abi-zeid was still alive to more than a handful of outs.  The river would bring Black a full house, and Abi-zeid (who came into Day 3 second in chips) would be the first player to leave the final table.
