Tony Hachem Eliminated

Tony Hachem - Eliminated
Tony Hachem - Eliminated
Just before the break, Tony Hachem got involved with Barry Beyers on a flop of {Q-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. Hachem led with a bet of 750 and Beyers called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts} and Hachem checked. Beyers bet 2,000 and Hachem raised to 8,000. Beyers then moved all in. Hachem made the call and was covered in the hand.

Hachem held top two pair with {Q-?} {8-?} against Beyers with an overpair of kings. The river was a striking blow to Hachem when the {K-Hearts} fell, eliminating him from the tournament.
