Rodeen Talebi was just eliminated by Kevan Casey in 19th place, earning $39,859. Talebi was all in with A-K against Casey's A-Q, and led the whole way -- until the river. A queen on the river gives Casey the crowd-pleasing suckout and sends Talebi home. (The audience isn't necessarily rooting for Casey or against Talebi, but they love to see a good suckout.)
