Chalie Hook - 4th Place

While we were writing the last post, Chalie Hook was eliminated in fourth place. Without an "all-in and a call" from the dealer we were unable to turn and catch the full details, but according to the dealer and Laurence Wolf, Wolf moved all in from the small blind with {k-}{5-} and Hook called with {q-}{j-}.

Hook failed to connect with the board - Wolf made kings and fives - and was eliminated in fourth place, earning $72,786.

The three remaining players are taking an unscheduled break.
