Former Main Event Champ Bechtel Gone
Jim Bechtel, the winner of the 1993 World Series of Poker Main Event, has just been eliminated. He was all in preflop against three other players. The flop came down 
and Bob Rawls bet 1,800. The other two active players, one being Claudio Rinaldi, both folded and Rawls was left up against the at-risk Bechtel.
Bechtel held the 
for two overs against the 
for Rawls. The turn was the 
to give Rawls a set and left Bechtel needing just a five on the river to chop the pot and stay alive.
The river completed the board with the 
and Bechtel was eliminated.
