Lee Nelson Eliminated

Lee Nelson in happier times

"I just knocked out Lee" said fellow Team PokerStars Australia Pro Tony Hachem with a slight hint of sadness in his voice.

Hachem opened to 1,300 from early position before Nelson moved all in for roughly 5,500 from the button. Hachem made the call and the cards were tabled.

Nelson: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}
Hachem: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The flop of {4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{J-Clubs} gave Nelson a flush and backdoor straight draw to go along with his two overcards, but when the {6-Hearts} fell on the turn, followed by the {5-Diamonds} we lost Nelson to the rail.

As Hachem raked in the pot to climb to over 57,000, Terrence Chan commented that if Nelson had folded he too would have gone broke with his short stack and pocket eights.

'Not Johnny' Chan lives on as 'JB' continues his hot 2009 form!
