Eriquezzo Ousted by Shorr

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante
Ryan Eriquezzo - Eliminated
Ryan Eriquezzo - Eliminated

We caught the beginnings of a bit pot brewing and headed over to take a look.

Tony Dunst had opened for the standard raise to begin the action, a move which prompted the Shannon Shorr to three-bet, making it 3,300 to play from the button. The small blind then four-bet to 7,500, and Ryan Eriquezzo defended his big blind with a five-bet shove to just about 32,000. Dunst got out of the way and Shorr deliberated for a few seconds before moving all in himself, with the big six-bet to 60,000 or so covering the small blind player. He quickly beat a retreat as well, leaving Eriquezzo and Shorr to showdown.

Shorr: {A-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Eriquezzo: {q-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Eriquezzo had gone for the gusto hoping to fold the table, but his face-card hand was crushed by Shorr's pocket rockets. The flop came down {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} because everybody loves a good sweat, and the {q-Spades} came on the turn to give Eriquezzo a puncher's chance at turning bullets into blanks, but the river bricked off coming {3-Diamonds}. Eriquezzo hit the rail midway through the day while Shorr chipped up in a major way after dodging the deck on fifth street.
