Clyde Hinton Eliminated by Maroun Jazzar

Maroun Jazzar raises under the gun to 8,200, Clyde Hinton reraises from middle position to 20,000, and Jazzar reraises to 98,200. Hinton thinks for about a minute before he calls. 

The flop comes [As9d4c], and Jazzar quickly moves all in. Hinton tanks for nearly two minutes before he calls with [QcQs]. Jazzar turns over [KdKs] — both players were likely hoping the other didn’t have an ace, but it’s not a factor.

Hinton needs to improve to stay alive, but the turn is the [4s], the river is the [3c], and Maroun Jazzar wins the pot with his pocket kings to eliminate Clyde Hinton.

Maroun Jazzar  –  415,000  (172 bb)
Clyde Hinton  –  Eliminated

Jazzar final tabled the WPT Cyprus event in Europe, earning enough WPT Player of the Year points to contend for the title. He’ll need to win this event to do it, but as long as he’s still in the tournament, he’s a contender.
