Myung Out

donpeters

John Myung moved all in for his last 12,000 chips and Manny Stavropoulos called. Myung held the lesser of the two hands, but still held two live cards in the {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

. Stavropoulos had {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

.

The flop gave hope to Myung after the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

fell, pairing up his nine. But, just as the dealer giveth, thou shall taketh away. The turn card was the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

and that just about closed the door on Myung. The river couldn't save him when the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

fell and Myung was eliminated just a few spots short of the money. Stavropoulos moved his stack to 46,000.
