Hatmaker Gone, Ahmadi Takes Hit

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Casey Hatmaker got it all in for just 12,000 from the cutoff, and both blinds, Phillip Lowery and Nick Ahmadi, made the call.

The KAK flop checked through, before Ahmadi led for 13,000 on the 8 turn. Lowery called, allowing the Q to peel off on the river. Action checked through again, and Hatmaker tabled 44 immediately. What had started off as the best hand preflop had been downgraded to the worst postflop, as Lowery's AJ took it down, and Ahmadi's 108 lost out.
