Tony Dunst opened with a raise to 175, and both Graham Woodbine and Tony Hachem joined in to the flop.

It came {Q-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. Dunst led out with 300 chips, and Woodbine raised to 800. Tony Hachem called, as did Tony Dunst, with all three of them seeing the turn.

Fourth street brought the {K-Diamonds}. Dunst kept the heat on, firing out another 1,200 chips. Woodbine ducked out, and Tony Hachem moved all-in. Dunst quickly called, and the hands were shown down:

Dunst: {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}
Hachem: {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds}

Both players hit the flop hard and the turn even harder, but Dunst's flush was no match for that of Hachem. The river was a meaningless {6-Clubs}, and Hachem collected an early double up.

Tony Dunst was left with just 175 chips, and they all went in on the very next hand, working with {K-Diamonds} {6-Spades}. Graham Woodbine made the call with {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts}, and his pocket pair held up, relegating Tony Dunst to the rail very early.

Despite the fact that Woodbine notched the knockout, Tony Hachem was in his glory, chanting to himself, "Tony H. takes out Tony D.!"
