Joseph Hebert opened to 100,000 in the hijack seat, Ben Mintz three-bet jammed for 680,000 in the small blind, and Hebert made the call.
Hebert: 
Mintz: 
Mintz was in good shape to double, until the dealer fanned 
, giving Hebert a set of threes. Mintz now needed a six or running straight cards to survive, and the 
on the turn left him with just two outs.
It was not to be as the 
completed the board, and the NOLA native was eliminated in 8th place. Gracious as ever, he extended his hand to Hebert and wished the rest of the table good luck.
"I was lucky enough to get it in good," he said with a smile after the hand. "I take our beats like a man."
