Event 3: Jerome Makonen Eliminated in 10th Place ($3,644)

Jerome Makonen - 10th Place ($3,644)
Jerome Makonen - 10th Place ($3,644)

With one of the shortest stacks at the final table, Jerome Makonen needed to make his move, and after action folded to him in late position, he took his {K-Spades}{7-Spades} to war.

Unfortunately for Makonen, Joe Mckeehen woke up with {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades} in the big blind, and he snapped the bet off in an instant.

The king-high, all-diamond flop brought a little for both players, as Makonen found a pair and Mckeehen a four-flush, and the {7-Diamonds} on the turn improved both players as well. When the river came {J-}, however, Makonen's tournament came to an end.
