Joe Hachem Eliminates Chris Levick

"It's so good to (finally) put a bad beat on someone," said Joe Hachem after he eliminated Chris Levick from the tournament. With the blinds at 300-600, Levick opened the pot from under-the-gun with a 3,000 raise. The action then folded around to Hachem in the big blind, who re-popped it to 6,000. Levick tossed in a single $5,000 chip and made the call.

The flop came down {5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Hachem led out with a 6,000 bet. Levick then moved all in over the top of Hachem's bet for approximately 14,000 more and Hachem made the call in a flash, turning over {6-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for the stone cold nuts! Levick tabled a pocket pair of tens and would need to hit perfect-perfect on the turn and river to stay alive. The turn cooperated, bringing the {7-Clubs} which gave Levick four outs to a full house, but the river card was a dud ({Q-Diamonds}), ending Levick's main event.
