Kerby Rivers Fox for the KO
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
It folded to Peter Fox in the small blind who raised to 420,000. In the big blind, Hill Kerby announced all in as the covering stack, and Fox called off his roughly 3,850,000 stack after a short deliberation.
Peter Fox: K♦Q♦
Hill Kerby: A♥8♥
Fox was behind but held live cards as the K♠J♠7♠ flop vaulted him into the lead with top pair. The 9♣ turn added a gutshot for Kerby, but it was the A♦ that landed on the river to give Kerby the win as Fox jumped out of his chair and angrily headed to the payout desk.
John Misirian and Daniel Chuprun were eliminated shortly before this hand.
