Walid Rizkallah opened to 100,000 from the hi-jack before Nicolas Zakhem committed his last 100,000 to the pot. Nabil Matta also made the call from the big blind.

The {5-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{4-Hearts} was checked down to see Matta fire 60,000 at the pot while Zakhem wondered off visibly distraught when the Ace fell on the turn.

Rizkallah mucked his hand and Matta tabled his {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts} to send Zakhem to the rail when he angrily slammed down his {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} after being outdrawn on the turn.

Zakhem heads to the rail in 7th place for a tidy payday of US$77,000 for his efforts over the past three days.
