Koral Running "Hottest He's Ever Ran," Busts West

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Stud

Tom Koral ({j-Diamonds}) and Tom West ({q-Spades}) got a series of bets in on the first round, and Koral caught a {7-Diamonds} and check-raised. West called and then both checked fifth.

Koral: {x-}{x-}/{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}
West: {x-}{x-}/{q-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

West bet sixth and then checked seventh. Koral bet, and West called. Koral showed {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a flush, leaving West with a mere 23,000.

Right after that, West got his remaining chips in with {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} against Koral's {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}/{7-Clubs}. The rolled up jacks were a monster favorite, but Koral tried looking on the bright side.

"I guess I need to make a straight."

He ran out {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} to do just that, busting West when "SBRounder" did not improve.

Koral admitted he is running the best he's ever ran in a WSOP limit tournament.
