A pot was being pushed to Justin Macella as Seville Hale was leaving the tournament area. Macella passed along the details of the hand to PokerNews.

As told by Macella, Hale opened to 1,000 in middle position and Macella three-bet to 3,500 on the button.

Hale called to see a flop of {k-}{4-}{2-}, then checked to Macella who bet 3,000. Hale check-raised to 7,500, Macella moved in and Hale called.

Seville Hale: {k-}{j-}
Justin Macella: {k-}{q-}

Macella had Hale outkicked, and after two blanks on the turn and river, Hale was off to the registration cage for a fresh 30,000 in chips.
