Hatzakortzian the First to Go

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Action exploded on a {3-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop between Edward Hatzakortzian and Sam Higgs that resulted in the former getting his last 10,000 or so in the pot.

Hatzakortzian: {q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Higgs: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Hatzakortzian held two pair, but he even admitted he didn't like the situation as Higgs held a queens with overs and a flush draw.

"Straight away," a resigned Hatzakortzian said after the {6-Clubs} turn gave Higgs the flush. Hatzakortzian could still win with either a queen of three, but it wasn't in the cards as the {10-Diamonds} blanked on the river. With that, Hatzakortzian, became the first player eliminated from the 2014 WSOP APAC Event #5 $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha.
