Joe Hachem Eliminated

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Joe Hachem
Joe Hachem

After losing another big pot, Joe Hachem was all in and at risk from the button and picked up two callers including Ronald Bernstein in the big blind and Rodney Hurlbut in early position. On the {A-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop, Bernstein moved all in to isolate successfully and the cards were turned over.

Joe Hachem: {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Ronald Bernstein: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}

Hachem was in need of running cards to avoid elimination and it was all over after the {9-Hearts} turn, making the {6-Clubs} river a formality.

Seidel Eliminated by Gavin

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Erik Seidel
Erik Seidel

It folded around to Erik Seidel on the button and he raised to 2,000. Alexis Gavin sat in the big blind and she three-bet Seidel by putting in a bet of 6,000. Seidel called and they went heads-up to the flop.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Gavin continued with a bet of 5,100. Seidel called again to see the turn appear.

The turn was the {J-Spades} and Gavin put in another bet. This time the sizing was 14,500 and when it got to Seidel he took a minute to think his decision through. He raised to 35,000 and Gavin called.

The {3-Spades} river completed the board and Gavin checked to Seidel. He went all in for about 35,000 and Gavin asked for a count. Gavin already called when the dealer started to cut up a stack of 20 chips into smaller stacks of five and she didn't even need to finish counting.

Seidel opened up {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and he was beat by Gavin's {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.
