Ross Boatman Eliminated

[user25067]

Ross Boatman got the rest of his chips in preflop holding {6-Clubs}

and was called by an opponent holding {J-Hearts}

. The flop was {K-Hearts}

, but the turn was the {9-Hearts}

, making his opponent's straight and leaving the Hendon Mobster drawing dead. The meaningless river was the {Q-Spades}

and Boatman headed to the rail.

Como se dice "shark" en Espanol? Humberto!

Everyone's favorite Costa Rican "Shark" was eliminated when he open-pushed his short stack with {9-Spades}

and ran into the small blind's Q-Q. The flop came ten-high, but his opponent hit running cards to make a flush.
