Level 7 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Andrew Lichtenberger bet 25,000 on the flop of {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Bill Chen, who is a Friend of PokerStars, raised to 50,000. Lichtenberger tanked and then reraised to 200,000. Chen moved all in and Lichtenberger called off his last few thousand chips. Lichtenberger was he player at risk, but held the best hand at the time the money went in. He had the {10-Spades}{9-Spades} for a straight and was up against the {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} for Chen.

The turn and river failed to pair the board when the {4-Diamonds} and {2-Spades} fell. That kept Lichtenberger's straight as the winner and he collected the chips. Lichtenberger was all in for 217,000 total and Chen was left with just 8,000.

On the next hand, Chen was all in with the {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} up against the {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} for David Benyamine. Although Chen flopped trip fives, Benyamine rivered a straight as the board ran out {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Chen was eliminated and hit the rail.
