Sherid Eliminated

From under the gun, Jeff Sherid moved all in for his remaining 10,000 chips. He was called by Kurosh Dejgosha who had {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} . Sherid was happy to be live with {J-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} .

The flop hit both players when it came {J-Spades} {7-Clubs} {5-Clubs} . Sherid picked up top pair, but his opponent still had two over cards, plus the club flush draw.

The turn made that flush when the {8-Clubs} hit, leaving Sherid drawing dead to the river {10-Diamonds} .

After the hand, Sherid looked cheery, as he said, "Those are the best cards I've seen all day. Good tournament, gentlemen." After a quick nod, he headed off to the payout clerk to pick up his winnings.
