Seven Eliminates Mouwad

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Kenny Hallaert raised to 9,000 from mid-position and Joseph Mouwad shoved from the lojack. John Seven asked for a count and the dealer confirmed Mouwad had 53,100 behind. Seven made the call and Hallaert looked at his cards once more before opting to fold.

Joseph Mouwad: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
John Seven: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The flop came {8-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} to give Mouwad a set of tens.

The turn was the {q-Diamonds} to now give Seven the higher set of queens.

The {a-Diamonds} on the river completed the board and sealed the deal as Mouwad was eliminated by the "unknown" player.
