Koral Corralled

No-Limit Hold'em

Tom Koral, who has already made two final tables at this year's WSOP, won't be doing so in Event No. 42.

After a middle-positioned player raisd to 150, Koral reraised to 550 from the button, the small blind called, and the original raiser folded. The flop came {7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, and Koral's opponent led with a bet of 750. Koral raised to 2,050, his opponent reraised all in, and Koral called with the last of his chips.

Koral had pocket kings, but his opponent held {J-Spades}{10-Spades} for the flopped straight. No help came on the turn or river for Koral, and his day ends halfway through Level 2.
