Joe Hachem Out for The Day

Joe Hachem was short-stacked and pushed all-in. The button and the big blind called. The flop came {K-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{A-Hearts}. Both players checked. And both checked down the {8-Diamonds} on the turn, and {3-Clubs} on the river. Hachem showed {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and the player on the button showed {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a pair. The big blind turned over {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} for a pair of jacks, and took the pot. But more important, he gets to go home and tell his friends that he eliminated Joe Hachem.

Dr. Pauly Takes Out Another

An opponent raised pre-flop and Paul McGuire defended his big blind with {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. The flop was {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn was the {A-Hearts}. McGuire bet 500 and his opponent called. The river was the {K-Spades}. McGuire bet 750, his opponent raised all in to 1,400 and McGuire called. McGuire's opponent showed K-9 and was eliminated on the hand.

The good doctor was up to 8,000 after the hand.
