Brock Leaves Kerr with Crumbs
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

John Brock: 
Jack Kerr: 
Brock was in trouble as the dealer issued a 
board. Brock binked trips on the turn and doubled up leaving Kerr with one big blind.
Unfortunately, Kerr was not able to spin it back up and busted the next hand setting up a 10-handed final table.
