Big Pot Sends Two Players Packing!

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Well, that was not a small pot. In fact, it was the biggest of the tournament so far.

It began with Matt Keikoan opening to 14,000 in early position, and Ron Segni three-bet to 35,000. Next door, Steve Olufs reraised all in for 145,000 total, and that sent the decision back to Keikoan. He spent a few minutes in the tank before calling, but Segni proceeded to reraise all in right back over the top. Keikoan hated it, but he was pretty much priced into the crying call.

Showdown
Keikoan: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}
Segni: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}
Olufs: {A-Hearts} {8-Clubs}

There was no funny stuff on the {4-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {5-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {2-Spades} board, and Segni drags the monster pot to eliminate Olufs. The dealer counted Segni down at 387,000, and Keikoan ran out of chips as he counted to 380,000. He was covered too, and he too has been sent to the exit. There'll be no two-time champion here in Lake Tahoe this week.
