Petersen Eliminates One

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

The flop read {q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Avi Hamo was all-in in the big blind already for the main pot. Elbert Petersen in the small blind and Peter Kamaras in the hijack were playing for the side pot. Petersen check-raised Kamaras' bet of 2,000 to 5,500 which Kamaras then called.

They both checked through the {6-Hearts} on the turn to the {4-Diamonds} on the river. Petersen now lead out for 6,300 and Kamaras tanked. After a minute or so, Kamaras opted to call and all the cards needed to go onto their backs.

Avi Hamo tabled {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} but couldn't hold against the {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} of Petersen who had flopped a set of sevens. Kamaras had to show {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the flopped pair of tens. Hamo quickly made his way out of the tournament area to find the cashier to reenter.
