Re: Wsop Event 2, Brit In Final 13 Elia Ahmadian Eliminated in 18th Place ($30,569) On the second hand on Green #14, Elia Ahmadian moved all in from the small blind and was snap-called by Theo Tran in the big blind. Ahmadian sheepishly turned over and was in bad shape against Tran's pocket kings. A flop of gave him some hope, but the turn and river were no help. Ahmadian is the first casualty of the day. He earns $30,569.
