"February $100,000" (Day 2): Luqman Alghanim Eliminated By Erik Colony In 6th Place ($3,815)

"February $100,000"
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 352
Players Remaining: 5


With this final table finish, Luqman Alghanim (Tampa, FL) records his second largest tournament cash, and first since May of 2015.

Just a few moments after Brandon Markland's elimination, we would see the final hand for Luqman Alghanim (Tampa, FL).  On the turn of a board reading 2♠ 6 5 Q♠, both Luqman and Douglas Decker would check to Erik Kolodny.  Erik put out a pot sized bet of 300,000, with Luqman check-shoving for just over double that amount.  Douglas Decker folded after getting an exact count, with Kolodny begrudgingly making the call.  Erik was in much better shape than he thought, as his A♣ Q was well ahead of Luqman's 10♣ 10♠.  The river brought not help for the worse hand, and Alghanim would exit in sixth place, earning $3,815 for his efforts.
