Seed Doubles

Action folded to Hasan Habib in the small blind and he raised to 25,000. Huck Seed tanked for a bit from the big blind and then slid out a tall stack of blue T5,000 chips for a reraise to 110,000. Seed still had chips behind, but only a tiny bit. Habib reraised to put Seed all in and Seed called.

Seed: {A-Clubs}{3-Hearts}
Habib: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The flop, turn and river ran out {7-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and Seed was able to come from behind for the double.

Eugene Katchalov Eliminated in 8th Place ($70,960)

Level 16 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Eugene Katchalov (Day 2) - 8th Place
Eugene Katchalov (Day 2) - 8th Place

On the button, Jason Mercier raised to 20,000 before Eugene Katchalov moved all in from the small blind. Gavin Smith, who was in the big blind, asked to have it counted out and the dealer announced that it was for 247,000. Smith decided to call and Mercier folded deuces face up.

Katchalov: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}
Smith: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Smith took a commanding lead on the {5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop but the {5-Hearts} on the turn did give Katchalov a sweat. The {k-Diamonds} river didn't do it though and we are now down to our unofficial final table.

Seidel tabled the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} and Habib mucked his hand.

New Nickname

Level 16 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Chino Rheem has been fairly talkative at his table as he always seems to be in poker events. Just recently, Rheem commented towards Hasan Habib and said, "Hasan Ha-beast." Seems like a solid nickname to us.

In order to correctly balance the tables after Brandon Meyers' elimination, Erik Seidel has been moved off the main feature table to the outer table. He now sits in Seat 2 between Chino Rheem and Hasan Habib.
