Eric Hershler Eliminates Cyndy Violette

After a player in middle position raised, Cyndy Violette re-raised to 3K at the cutoff with {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. WPT LAPC champion Eric Hershler re-raised from the big blind with {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}. First player folded and Violette went into the tank for a minute before she re-raised all in for around 40K total. Hershler instantly called. The board was {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Hershler scooped the pot with a set of Aces. Violette thought she had Hershler covered, but after the dealer counted out both players' stacks, they were identical. Hershler doubled up as Violette headed to the rail.
