{K-Spades}

Flynn bet 5,000 and Schreiber called. The turn brought the {7-Clubs}

Joe Hachem Eliminated

[user40108]

Action folded around to Jacques Zaicik in the small blind who raised to 2,400. Joe Hachem, playing from the big blind, peeked quickly at his hole cards. After a brief deliberation, Hachem announced a re-raise. The '05 World Champ then pushed his entire chip stack across the betting line. Zaicik made the call and the players showed:

Hachem: 3-3
Zaicik: A-K

It was a coinflip situation for the Aussie that did not go his way. The {K-Diamonds}

on the flop was all that was needed to give Zaicik the pot and send Hachem on his way. Ironically it was Zaicik who eliminated another Team PokerStars player Vanessa Rousso earlier in the tournament.
