Two Eliminations on Table 35

Level 8 : 300/600, 50 ante

Jack Skerston fired out what looked like a pot-sized bet of 8,000 on a board of {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}, and Hollywood Poker Open ambassador Chris Moneymaker made the call.

The river was the {q-Diamonds}, Skerston checked, and Moneymaker moved all in for what looked like 20,000 or so. Skerston called, Moneymaker showed {q-Spades}{3-Hearts} for trip queens, and Skerston flashed {k-}{6-} before exiting.

Prior to that hand, Billy Cook raised to 4,000 from middle position, and James Basham defended his big blind. The flop came {10-}{8-}{2-}, Basham check-called an all in for 12,000, and the two players tabled their cards.

Basham: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Cook: {a-}{q-}

The turn was an {8-}, leaving Cook drawing dead, and a meaningless card completed the board.
