Hand #44 - Eric 'Rizen' Lynch Eliminated in 7th Place ($27,718)

Hand #44 - Thomas Savitsky has the button in seat 3, Smith raises to 60,000, Lynch moves all in for 205,000, and Smith thinks for about two minutes before he calls with {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Lynch shows {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}, and he's in a good position to double up here.

The flop comes {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, and Smith takes the lead with two pair, hitting his kicker to the applause of the crowd. Lynch is in trouble, and needs a king or a runner-runner straight to survive.

The turn card is -- the {7-Spades}! Smith makes a full house, and Lynch's only hope is to catch the case ace on the river to chop the pot with identical full houses.

The river card is the {2-Spades}, and Gavin Smith wins the pot with sevens full of aces.

Eric 'Rizen' Lynch is eliminated in seventh place, earning $27,718. The next player eliminated will receive $36,779 for sixth place.
