Tom Hanlon Eliminated in 7th Place ($134,302)

Tom Hanlon - 7th Place
Tom Hanlon - 7th Place
Hand No. 52 -

Kido Pham has the button in Seat 1. Tom Hanlon is the first player in, with a pot-sized raise to 140,000. Everyone folds except the big blind, Michael Mizrachi.

We are heads up to a flop of {6-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {j-Clubs}. Mizrachi quickly bets 100,000, enough to put Hanlon all in. He makes the call and the hands are opened.

Mizrachi: {j-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}
Hanlon: {a-Diamonds} {k-Spades} {10-Spades} {9-Diamonds}

That's two pair, jacks and sixes for Mizrachi, against not-a-whole-lot for Hanlon. A flash blub goes off, prompting MC Robbie Thompson to ask spectators to refrain from flash photography for at least the third time since we started play.

The turn comes down {A-Clubs} to make a pair for Hanlon, reviving his hand and giving him a big draw going to the river. It doesn't matter; the {3-Hearts} seals his fate as the seventh place finisher. Mizrachi has knocked off another competitor. Hanlon is out of here, on his way to collect $134,302.
