Marco Traniello Busted

John McKinney raised to 3,000 on the button and Marco Traniello was all in for 14,175 from the small blind. McKinney called with {K-Spades}{9-Hearts} and Traniello had {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. The board was a heartbreaker: {J-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}, and Traniello was down to 3,900 to 29,000 for McKinney.

On the very next hand, Traniello shoved on the button with {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and was called by Richard Kirsch with {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. The board rang out {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and Traniello busted. Kirsch has 71,000 after this hand.

Time for Traniello to make another fateful phone call to his wife, Jennifer Harman.
