Sam Khalilieh opens to 600 from early position, WPT Champions Club member Will Failla calls from the next seat over, Corey Hochman three-bets to 2,750 from the hijack, and Glenn Lafaye (pictured) four-bets shoves from the button for about 34,000. Khalilieh calls, Failla folds, and Hochman folds.
Khalilieh:
Lafaye:
The flop falls to give Lafaye a set of aces, though Khalilieh picks up a straight draw. The turn changes nothing, but the river gives Khalilieh an ace-high straight to eliminate Lafaye.
“Need to take a picture of this so that people believe me,” Lafaye tells the table, before making his exit.
“Corey, were you ahead preflop?” asks/jokes Failla.
“I had the 4-7 offsuit,” replies Hochman.
Sam Khalilieh – 85,000 (425 bb)
Glenn Lafaye – Eliminated
