Ken Krouner Eliminated

[user108095]

Walter Wright raised to 30,000 from early position and Ken Krouner pushed all in for 110,000 from the small blind. Wright made the quick call, showing {K-Spades}

while Krouner held {A-Clubs}

.

A flop of {6-Spades}

provided no help, and the {K-Hearts}

on the turn sealed the hand for Wright. When the {3-Clubs}

hit the river, Krouner made his exit while Wright stacked up his chips, which now total 1.1 million.

Jim McClain Cracks Aces - Jesse Fulmer Goes Bust

[user108095]

Jesse Fulmer pushed his stack in preflop from early position and got called by Jim McClain on the button.

Fulmer turned over {A-Spades}

and thought he was well ahead of McClain's {10-Spades}

, especially when Robert Fett told the table he'd folded {10-Diamonds}

.

It didn't seem to matter, however, as McClain caught the case 10 on a flop of {10-Hearts}

. When the turn and river came {4-Hearts}

, Fulmer made the walk to the cage.
