Germano Left Short by Ferguson, Finished off by Kaepernick
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Just a couple of hands after his flopped set of fives was run down by Sandy Ferguson in a huge pot that left him with just a few big blinds, John Germano put his last 27,000 in from the small blind after a raise by Ferguson.
Ronald Kaepernick called in the big blind, as did Ferguson.
On the K♠7♣2♠ flop, Kaepernick led out for 25,000 and Ferguson folded.
John Germano: A♥5♠
Ronald Kaepernick: K♥J♥
Germano had flopped top pair, leaving Germano needing an ace to survive.
The board completed 8♥2♣, bringing Germano no help and sending him to the rail.
With his elimination, just 20 players remain as what will likely be the final break of the day approaches.
