Lynch, Rafter, Hanged

A tale of woe and disaster for Martin Lynch, one of our three remaining Sole Survivor contenders, who remains no more.

Lynch shoved under the gun with {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} but got looked up by Niall Smyth on the cutoff, who called all in with the dominating {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}. Not enough help from the {A-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {Q-Spades} {5-Spades} {10-Spades} board, and Lynch was down to just 3,500, which put him all in on his big blind the next hand.

To his dismay, Karl Mahkle shoved from the cutoff and Anthony Rafter called all in from the button -- and when the cards were flipped, things could not have been worse.

Mahkle: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Rafter: {A-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}
Lynch: {10-Spades} {8-Hearts}

Board: {5-Hearts} {4-Spades} {K-Spades} {2-Spades} {7-Hearts}

Both Lynch and Rafter are busto.
