Dolan and Kruger Clash Again; Kruger Eliminated

With the flop reading {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, Justin "Choctaw" Kruger led out for 1,500 only to find John Dolan raise the action to 4,000. The rest of the players folded and Kruger flat called the bet.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and Kruger led out for 5,200. Dolan thought about his action for about a minute before opting to call. The board paired on the river when the {5-Clubs} hit and Kruger moved all in for about 17,000. Dolan quickly called and Kruger showed {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}. Dolan, however, tabled {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades} for nines and fives with the ace kicker, sending Kruger to the rail.

Kruger talked with us afterward and informed us that he will indeed be firing a third bullet during Day 1c. Dolan, however, is sitting on one of the biggest stacks in the room today with 65,000 in chips.
