Mike Krescanko Eliminated in 15th Place ($8,368)
Omaha-8
Mike Krescanko has been short-stacked for a while, surviving a couple of all ins to keep his seat. After Krescanko won a hand versus Oleksii Kovalchuk to survive, Tom Schneider noted how tough it seemed to be to get the next elimination.
"What do we have to do to get somebody out of this tournament?" asked Schneider.
"Pull the fire alarm?" answered Norman Chad.
Alas for Krescanko, his luck only lasted a little while longer. He raised from middle position, leaving himself but a few chips behind, and when Wing Wong reraised from the big blind, Krescanko called with the rest.
Wong: 
Krescanko: 
The board came 
, giving Wong trip jacks to best Krescanko who hits the rail in 15th.
