Hanks Checks Out

Hafiz Khan started the action by opening to 6,500, Samad Rashid three-bet to 14,000 on the button, and Brent Hanks moved all in for 102,500 from the small blind. Khan re-shoved, Rashid folded, and the hands were opened.

Hanks: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Khan: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Hanks was crushed, and couldn't find an eight, straight, or flush when the board ran {7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts}{4-Clubs}.

"I folded ace-king," Rashid admitted after the hand.

Hanks started packing his things, paid his masseuse, said goodbye to his friend Dan O'Brien, then finally hit the rail, out in 57th.
