Jeff Hakim Eliminated in 14th Place ($14,290)

Chip leader Zsolt Vasvenszki raised to 27,000 from the button before Jeff Hakim moved all in from the small blind for 177,000. Vasvenszki made the call and held the {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Hakim held the {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, ahead for the time being.

The flop came down {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Hakim ducks were still quacking. The turn gave Vasvenszki a few more outs when the {6-Spades} paired the board, meaning any king, queen, seven or four would give him the win.

The river hit one of those outs when the {K-Spades} spiked and Hakim's tournament was over. He finished in 14th place for $14,290. Hakim now has about $300,000 in live tournament earnings, but that's not where he does the bulk of his work. Hakim has well over $3.2 million in online tournament winnings, known mostly under the moniker "YoungSupremacy" on Full Tilt.
