Hamilton Eliminates Juan

Hamilton Out In Front With 145,000
Hamilton Out In Front With 145,000
Steve Hamilton raised to 12,000 preflop and Dante Juan made the call. The flop landed {K-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Juan moved all in for the last of his chips. Hamilton thought for a moment and, with chips to spare, he decided to make the call with {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. It proved to be the right call, as Juan tabled {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for the flush draw.

The turn and river bricked {J-Spades}, {4-Diamonds} leaving Juan to exit in 35th place as Hamilton extends his chip lead to 145,000 chips.
