McKinney Out of Chips

[user66118]

Stephen McKinney Eliminated

Hold'em -

It took just 90 minutes of play for our overnight chip leader to fall all the way down and out of our field.

From middle position, and now working with a short stack, Stephen McKinney opened by moving all in for his last 4,200. Hilbert Shirey made the call from late position, and action folded to Sorel Mizzi in the small blind. He re-popped it, making it 12,000 to go, which was enough to isolate him against the all-in player.

McKinney turned over {6-Spades}

The board came down {2-Clubs}

, giving Mizzi the win and sending McKinney to the exit surprisingly early. After that pot, Mizzi has moved up to 34,300.
