Jewell Makes Surprising Exit

Level 12 : 700/1,400, 200 ante
Kurt Jewell
Kurt Jewell

We noticed that the seat of four-time ring winner Kurt Jewell was occupied by another player, which led us to believe he had been eliminated. Given that he started with a healthy 91,400, we went to the table to confirm and Will "Monkey" Souther informed us of Jewell's untimely demise.

According to Souther, Jewell opened the button with {K-}{Q-} and the player in the small blind, who had been very active, three-bet with {A-}{A-}. Jewell put in a four-bet, the small blind shoved and Jewell snap-called off for around 58K. Despite flopping an open-ended straight draw, Jewell was unable to crack the pocket rockets and was eliminated from the Main Event.
