Crane Collects a Few

Russell Crane

It folded to Russell Crane who moved all in from the small blind, and Brock Parker folded. Crane is hanging in there with about 530,000.

The 23-year-old New Jersey native Crane has a few cashes prior to today's event, the largest having been when he chopped a deep-stacked $2K tournament at the Borgata in Atlantic City last fall for which he's listed as finishing third for a little over $64,000. He had his first WSOP cash a couple of weeks ago in the $1,000 NLHE "Stimulus Special" event in which he finished 78th.

Crane has been playing poker since 2003, and also enjoys chess, skateboarding, and golf.
