Brian Morrow got his last 4,500 or so in from the big blind against the small blind and Marc Fluss, in the cutoff. Fluss and the small blind checked down the {6-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} board, and Fluss showed {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for top pair. Morrow rolled over {a-}{4-} and headed out.

Fluss Loses to Two Unders

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A short-stacked player moved in for 7,650, and Marc Fluss jammed as well in the next spot for about 34,000. Everyone else folded.

Fluss: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

"So you're saying there's a chance," someone said after {k-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs} flopped to give the all-in player a pair of kings.

The {4-Hearts} missed him, so that chance was down to a five-outer on the river, but he got there with the {q-Hearts}.

Out of the Shark Tank for Moneymaker

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The Alex Queen/Chris Moneymaker/Kane Kalas table broke shortly after Kalas' elimination, and Chris Moneymaker seems to be enjoying life at his new table, having just passed the 100,000 mark.

In one recent pot, he bet 2,700 from the cutoff on a {3-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop and got a call from his lone opponent, the big blind. The big blind check-called 5,800 on the {2-Clubs} turn, and he came out firing with 8,100 on the {7-Diamonds}.

"How much do you have back?" Moneymaker asked. It looked like about 18,000. "I'm all in."

Moneymaker's opponent quickly mucked.

Jerry Snook

Jerry Snook got his last 4,975 in preflop with {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and was put at risk by a player who felt priced in with {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. The board ran out {4-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, safe for Snook.
