The current world champion - Joe Hachem retires from further competition at the EPT Grand Final. Strong arm A-K Hachem lost to the smallest pocket pair - 2-2.
When the flop came up - A-10-2, Villain bet, Joe Hachem raised. With a short pause, a re-raise followed, after which Joe Hachem thought for a long time, and still made the call. The king came on the turn, and it would seem that another king or ace is about to fall, but the miracle did not happen. Thus, the 2005 WSOP Main Event winner was eliminated from the tournament.
By the way, the paid places and the amount of cash prizes for them became known.
