Max Pescatori folds from the button. Kyle Kloeckner raises it up, making it 80,000 to go. Greg Hurst makes a reraise, stacking out a total of 175,000. Kloeckner calls.

The flop comes {J-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {9-Spades}. Kloeckner leads out with a covering bet, and Hurst pushes his last 200,000 or so into the pot. The hands are turned over:

Kloeckner: {A-Diamonds} {7-Spades}
Hurst: {K-Spades} {7-Diamonds}

Hurst needs some help, but the board runs down {6-Clubs}, {A-Hearts}, and that's going to do it for him. Kloeckner knocks him out and moves his stack up to 1,300,000.

Hurst put on a strong performance today, doubling up early on to give himself some breathing room. He was disappointed, but he will pocket $94,599 for his three-day run.
