McCool-ered

Patrick Cole

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Brian McCool moved all in from the cutoff for around 45,000. Josef Schusteritsch called on the button and both blinds folded.

Brian McCool: A♠A♥ All in
Josef Schusteritsch: 7♠7♣

"A good time to get them" said McCool as the dealer fanned the flop of 7♥3♦Q♣ which catapulted Schusteritsch into the lead, leaving McCool with two outs. He couldn't find an ace on the 9♥ turn and the 2♣ river confirmed his exit from the tournament.
