The Odds Are Not in Hagen's Favor

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We noticed Todd "Odds" Hagen, who was the first elimination of the day, was no longer in the seat he'd taken when he reentered. Sure enough, a check with his friend Jason Bender confirmed that he'd been eliminated from the Main Event for a second time.

Bender didn't recall Hagen's bustout hand, but did say he was crippled after he flopped a flush draw with {k-Hearts}{x-Hearts} and was up against a player with top pair. The two put some chips in on the flop, and then more on the {A-} turn, which unbeknownst to Hagen gave his opponent two pair. The {K-} river wasn't the heart Hagen was looking for, but it did give him a pair, which ended up inspiring to pay off his opponent.

Hagen was eliminated a short time later.
