Level 15 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

A discussion about Michael Jackson began as Cherish Andrews inquired about Jeremy Becker's flashy pants.

"Can you moonwalk in those?" she asked as the discussion moved to another table.

"He did dangle a baby over a balcony," Lonis said in a conversation with Kristen Foxen. "If that happened today people would say it was AI. He did it before AI."

A short while later, Brock Wilson jammed in the small blind as Foxen called off in the big blind.

Kristen Foxen: A♠7♥ All in
Brock Wilson: 8♦5♦

The flop of 5♣J♠5♥ had Foxen drawing practically dead as the runout of 10♠4♥ confirmed the Event #4 champion's elimination.

Back to the other table, Krpan was eliminated by the player in the Michael Jackson pants.
