Kruger Goes 99 Down the Rivers

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

We missed the preflop action, but we do know that Barry Kruger got his stack of 42,000 all in and was at risk against Ryan Rivers.

Kruger: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Rivers: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Rivers was behind, but these are the sort of hands we've seen him get lucky on all week long. Fortunately for Kruger, this wasn't one of the times as the {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop gave him a hammerlock on the hand with middle set. The {3-Hearts} turn left Rivers drawing dead, and after the {Q-Hearts} was put out on the river, Kruger was pushed the pot.
