Eric Assadourian Eliminated in 6th Place

The flop of {K-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs} looked innocent enough, but it sparked a betting war between Joe Hachem and Eric Assadourian. The money went all in and both players were on the draw:

Joe: {J-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Eric: {8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Joe held the best hand with a pair and a better flush draw, while Eric was going to need to hit a pair or make his straight.

The {10-Clubs} on the turn gives both players a flush but Joe is still in front with the king-jack-high flush. For a moment the players mention that Eric still has some outs with a straight-flush draw, however they then erupt in laughter when Joe points out that he holds both of the straight-flush outs that Eric would require to make a better hand.

The meaningless {A-Hearts} on the river sends Eric home early and Joe extends his lead over the rest of the table.
