George vs Engel

Limit Hold'em Limits 7,000-14,000

Ari "BodogAri" Engel surged to the top of the leaderboard on his table after earning several pots. One of them included the elimination of Christopher "Ceegee87" George when the latter defended the big blind and check-called the {j-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop. George had few chips behind to the {7-Clubs} turn and check-called all-in.

Christopher "Ceegee87" George: {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Ari "BodogAri" Engel: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

The {5-Clubs} river bricked and that spelled the end for George.
