Hachem moved all-in preflop for 8,000 chips and was called by Rory Mathews. When they flipped their cards over, Hachem showed 7-9 offsuit, while Mathews held {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

.

The

{5-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

flop gave Hachem top two pair, but the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

on the turn gave Mathews a Jack-high flush. Hachem would need either a 7 or a 9 on the river to stay alive, but the board paired the 5, sending Hachem home early.
