Ahmed Mohamed: {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}/{4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds}/{q-Diamonds}
Scott Seiver: {6-Spades}{3-Spades}/{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}/{3-Diamonds}

Scott Seiver raised and Mohamed pushed the last of his chips into the middle on fifth street and made the call.

It was Seiver with a made seven low versus Mohamed and his one pair of eights.

Sixth street paired Seiver and changed nothing for Mohamed.

Seventh street, however, gave Seiver two pairs of fives and treys to go along with his seven low for the scoop.

With this hand, Mohamed was eliminated from the tournament in 10th place and took home $25,708 in cash for his time.
