Paul Wolfe Eliminated

Paul Wolfe
Paul Wolfe
We got to the table just as Paul Wolfe was shaking his opponent's hand and walking away.

Paul, who was short stacked, had pushed preflop with pocket sevens and was called by the button who held ace-queen. Paul was ahead all the way to the river on a board of {5-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, but was done in when the {Q-Clubs} completed the board.

Wolfe said he got short stacked a few hands earlier when he held {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and called an all-in bet on a flop of 2-3-4. His opponent turned over {2-?}{4-?} for two pair, and caught his full house when the {4-Spades} hit the turn.
