Schlecht, Kent Fall
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jill Schlecht limped in from middle position, then called for 140,000 when Jake Croghan shoved on the button.
Jill Schlecht: K♥Q♦
Jake Croghan: J♣J♥
Schlecht took the lead on the K♠10♥7♠ flop, but Croghan hit the J♦ on the turn to make a set. The river was the 7♥ and Schlecht was sent to the rail.
At another table, Eric Nordstrom shoved from early position, Sheldon Kent called for 130,000 in middle position, and the rest of the table folded.
Sheldon Kent: K♠K♥
Eric Nordstrom: A♠K♦
Kent had found two kings and was a favorite to double up as the board came 10♣2♦7♦3♠, but Nordstrom hit the A♦ on the river.
"That's poker. I'm not folding kings there," Kent said as he headed to the payout desk.
