James Lowrey Eliminated

Short stacked James Lowrey was microstacked (2,425) by the time he pushed from under the gun. Button Paul O'Connor called him, as did big blind Daniel Kannerstedt. Both checked it down until the board read {4-Spades} {7-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {9-Diamonds}. Suddenly perking up on the river, Kannerstedt bet out 2,500, and was called by O'Connor. They both had paired their nine, but O'Connor's {Q-Hearts} {9-Clubs} pipped Kannerstedt's {10-Spades} {9-Hearts}. Both had just rivered a bigger pair than Lowrey, however, and he joined the growing number of first level bust-outs.
