Hodge, Persinger Eliminated
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Joey McCaig opened on the button for 27,000, and Paul Hodge shoved in the big blind for 114,000.
"You got nines?" McCaig asked after some thought.
"Does it take nines?" Hodge said. "You must have queen-jack."
After another moment, McCaig called.
McCaig: 
Hodge: 
It didn't take nines since king-queen was best, and the 
board meant Hodge was done after missing his gutshot and his chopping outs.
At the other table, Bret Persinger got it in with 
and lost a race to the 
of Lou Barlow when the latter made two pair.
