Hand #45 - Joe Hachem Eliminated in 8th Place ($24,288)

[user38449]
[user38449]
Bertrand Grospellier has the button in seat 4. Sangkyoun Kim opens the pot for 60,000 from early position. The action then folds around to Joe Hachem in the small blind, who re-pops it a total of 150,000. Dinh Le folds his big blind and Kim asks for a count. "How much do you have left?" Kim asks. "Taxi money," responds Hachem. Kim then puts Hachem all in, a bet which amounts to 188,000 total. Hachem calls immediately, tabling {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. Kim reveals {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

Flop: {J-Hearts}{5-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Turn: {10-Diamonds}
River: {4-Hearts}

Spiking a miracle four-outer on the turn, Sangkyoun Kim eliminates Hachem from the Main Event in eighth place.

Liz Lieu has the button in seat 2. Dinh Le limps into the pot from early position and the action is folded around to William Tam in the small blind who lets it go, and Bertrand Grospellier knuckles the table from the big blind, opting to see a free flop.

Flop: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Both players check.

Turn: {7-Clubs}

Again, both players check.

River: {7-Hearts}

Once again, check, check, and Le takes down the pot with A-K.

Flop: {9-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Turn: {4-Spades}
River: {J-Spades}

Patry takes down the pot with a pair of aces, doubling through to 306,000. The loss leaves Kim with 461,000.
