button in SafariChen, Esau Knocked Out as Nashar Scores Double Elimination With Eight-Seven Off
Level 8
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Hassan Nashar made a large raise to 25,000 under the gun. Rafael Navas called in the hijack, and Elizabeth Chen jammed in her short stack of 59,000 from the cutoff, and Paul Esau rejammed for 241,000 from the big blind.
Nashar requested a count, then called with the covering stack. Navas, meanwhile, had seen enough and folded.
Elizabeth Chen: A♠9♠ 
Paul Esau: A♣J♥
Hassan Nashar: 8♣7♦
All players paired on the K♦A♦7♣ flop, with Esau remaining in the lead. However, the 8♠ turn made Nashar two pair, and he celebrated loudly when his hand remained best on the 10♥ river.
Chen and Esau both shook their heads as they departed the tournament, while Nashar chipped up to nearly a million in chips.
