Crifo Crippled, Cast Out

[user135779]

Rob Crifo was in a world of hurt after Jim Sachinidis' {j-Spades}

{j-Spades}

{j-Clubs}

flopped a set on a board that read {a-Diamonds}

{a-Diamonds}

{j-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

{4-Clubs}

and in the very next hand he was taken out by Steve Krmpotic.

Crifo was forced all in on the big blind and he could only watch as Sachinidis and Krmpotic have at it.

Sachinidis raised preflop, Krmpotic reraised and Sachinidis called. Both players checked the flop of {a-Hearts}

{a-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

, then Sachinidis check-called Krmpotic's bet on the turn of the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

before both players checked the river {q-Diamonds}

{q-Diamonds}

.

Sachinidis turned up {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

for a turned set; Krmpotic revealed {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{9-Clubs}

for a busted straight draw and Crifo mucked.

We are now down to ten players - all of them have merged onto one table and we are only one spot away from the "final" final table and the money!
