Hachem Eliminates Edelstein

Preflop, Shane Moran raised to 1,000 and was called by both Morry Edelstein and Joe Hachem. The flop came {Q-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} and Moran passed to Edelstein who bet 3,000. Hachem then raised all in, putting Edelstein to a decision for all of his chips. Moran folded and Edelstein called for less.

Showdown:
Hachem: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}
Edelstein: {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}

The turn and river filled out {3-Clubs}, {2-Spades} and Hachem's queen held up to win the pot and send Edelstein to the rail. Hachem now sits with about 37,500 in chips.
