Goodbye, World

A severly short-stacked John Hennigan was all in for his last 300 chips. Lyle Berman raised pre-flop, passing the action to Eli Elezra.

"Lyle wants to protect you," Elezra said to Hennigan. "I will re-protect you." He three-bet and Berman called. Berman check-called one bet on a flop of {7-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {10-Hearts}. Both players checked when the board paired on the turn, {10-Diamonds}. Berman checked a third time on the river {2-Hearts}, prompting Elezra to bet. Berman called and found himself quartered. He and Elezra had the same pair of sevens for high, but Elezra's low with {a-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {8-Hearts} was better than Berman's with {a-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {7-Spades}. Hennigan's {a-Spades} {4-Clubs} {q-Diamonds} {j-Diamonds} got nothing from the main pot.

"Maybe if I had a straight third..." Hennigan said to John Juanda before departing.
