Pascal Hartmann Eliminated in 15th Place (�40,250)

Matt Warburton

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Juan Pardo raised from late position, Pascal Hartmann reraised from the big blind and Pardo called.

The flop came 6?8?7?. Hartmann made a continuation bet of 50,000, which Pardo called. The turn was the 2? and both players checked.

The river was the 4?. Hartmann pushed all in for 225,000, less than a pot sized bet. Pardo quickly called and players turned their cards. Hartmann had A?A? for pocket aces. Pardo, however, turned over A?7? for a flush.

For a moment, the dealer and players misread the situation and thought Hartmann's aces had won. "I'm with the dealer," joked Hartmann as he tapped the table and took his leave. He was eliminated from the tournament in 15th place for �40,250.
