Knuckles Falls With Top Set As Bubble Nears
Level 17
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
David Knuckles opened in middle position and received a call from Mark Kehrees in the small blind. Kehrees check-called on 
and then check-jammed for Knuckles's remaining stack on 
. Knuckles called.
Knuckles: 
Kehrees:
Knuckles had flopped top set but Kehrees turned a flush, leaving him in need of the board pairing to stay alive. It failed to do so as 
completed the runout and he toppled his stack of chips forward onto the felt as he made his way from the tournament area.
"What a f*****g joke," added Knuckles. Meanwhile, Kehrees now has just shy of half a million with 67 players remaining, just four eliminations away from the bubble bursting.
