Hot Goes Cold, Hits the Showers

HillKerby

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 12,000 ante

Igor Hot entered the day second in chips after seeing a heater end his Day 1c evening. Unfortunately for him, Day 2 was much more biting. He was recently seen down to around 150,000, and only fell further from there, eventually finding himself as low as 18,000.

Hot shoved all in for that 18,000 from under the gun and received calls from Paul Camby in the small blind and Blake Whittington in the big blind. Action for a side pot then checked through the runout, which came . All three hands were then tabled.

Igor Hot:
Paul Camby:
Blake Whittington:

Hot's pair of nines were good to earn him the triple and bring him to around an eight big-blind stack. However, he was eliminated shortly thereafter to end his run for the day.
