Brock Leaves Kerr with Crumbs

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

The action folded around to John Brock in the small blind and he shoved his short stack into the big blind of fellow shorty, Jack Kerr. Kerr actually woke up with a hand and made the call.

John Brock: {7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Jack Kerr: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Brock was in trouble as the dealer issued a {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} board. Brock binked trips on the turn and doubled up leaving Kerr with one big blind.

Unfortunately, Kerr was not able to spin it back up and busted the next hand setting up a 10-handed final table.

Soluri Steals From Salhab

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Budwey Salhab opened on the button and got called by Andrew Miller in the small blind and Anthony Soluri in the big blind. Both Miller and Soluri checked a {4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Spades} flop and Salhab bet 125,000 finding a call from just Soluri.

Both players checked the {5-Clubs} on the turn and {4-Spades} on the river. Soluri tabled the {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs} making trips on the river and Salhab mucked.

Dang's Queens Cracked by Caldwell

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

A string of preflop bets between Dai Dang and Michelle Caldwell had Dang all in and at risk but it great shape to score a massive pot.

Dai Dang: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Michelle Caldwell: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

It was not Dang's day though as Caldwell spiked an ace on the turn of a {7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} board sending the Canadian home in 14th place ($1,405).
