Stokkan Eliminated by Messina
Level 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
Preben Stokkan was already short and eventually got it all in for his last 7,000 or something. He had 
and was up against Valentin Messina's .
The 
flop wasn't anything Stokkan was looking for. He needed a seven or running cards to stay in this tournament. The turn was the 
which gave him some straight outs but the on the river couldn't save him.
Stokkan hits the rail, Messina's get a nice boost to his stack.
