In early position, Melissa Hayden opened with a raise to 2,500, and she was called by a player two seats to her left. Over in late position, Bruno Fitoussi stuck in a re-raise to 7,500, and Hayden would eventually move all in for a total of 20,500. That was enough to fold the monkey in the middle, and Fitoussi reluctantly called, priced in for the chance to eliminate a player.
Showdown
Hayden:
Fitoussi:
A big smile came across Hayden's face as she saw the good news. That smile would turn upside down in a hurry though, as the dealer ran out a flop of to give her opponent the unlikely set of fours. The and that filled out the board did nothing to help the lady's cause, and she has been eliminated. Fitoussi offered her a heartfelt, "I'm sorry," as he began to stack her chips.
