Harry Kazazian Eliminated in 8th Place ($18,011); Tom Schneider Triples Up

[user10554]

(Hold'em) Robert Mizrachi raises to 16,000, Harry Kazazian moves all in from the button for 18,000, and Tom Schneider moves all in from the big blind for 29,000 -- but he's told he can only complete the bet to 24,000, so he pulls 5,000 back. Mizrachi calls.

The flop comes {7-Diamonds}

, Schneider bets his last 5,000 into the side pot, and Mizrachi calls. The players show:

Harry Kazazian: {J-Diamonds}

Tom Schneider: {9-Clubs}

Robert Mizrachi: {K-Hearts}

Schneider leads with his pocket pair, and the turn card is the {9-Hearts}

, giving him a set. Mizrachi is drawing dead, so Schneider clinches the side pot, but Kazazian can make a jack-high straight with an eight on the river.

The last card is the {7-Hearts}

, and Kazazian briefly thinks it's an eight before reality sinks in -- Harry Kazazian is eliminated in eighth place, earning $18,011.
