After a flop of 6s5c4d, Jean Joseph bet 8,700 from the cutoff, and Alexander Haber called from the button.

The turn card was the 3s, Joseph bet 7,000, and Haber moved all in. Joseph went into the tank for a while before he called all in for 55,500 with 5s5h for a set of fives.

But Haber turned over 7h4c for a seven-high straight, and Joseph needed the board to pair on the river to stay alive.

The river card was the 10c, and Haber won the pot with his straight to eliminate Joseph.

Alexander Haber  –  165,000  (330 bb)
Jean Joseph  –  Eliminated
