Colao Sent Packing

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

We arrived at the table to find a short-stacked Hoss Colao all in and at risk before the flop. Colao held {a-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and was looking to improve against Budway Salhab's {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}.

The flop came down {J-Spades}{2-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Colao stood up from the table. The {Q-Spades} paired one of Colao's cards but his pair of queens remained behind in the hand. He failed to improve further on fifth street and was eliminated from play as the {8-Spades} finished off the board.

Salhab, who at one point in the day was down to just 700 in chips, has now brought his stack up to around 41,000.
