Dan Shak Ousted by Roth

[user153906]

A frustrating day for Dan Shak has come to and end. Christopher Roth opened the action with a preflop raise and Dan Shak called in the big blind, leaving less than one bet behind.

The flop brought {J-Spades} {8-Clubs} {6-Clubs} and Roth bet. Shak called all in, and then revealed that he hadn't looked at his cards.

Roth: {A-Clubs} {8-Hearts}
Shak: {3-Spades} {7-Spades}

The {4-Clubs} turn and {10-Diamonds} river provided no help for Shak, who landed in 21st place for $5,970

Jeffrey Jerome Heads Home

[user153906]

He stuck around for a while, but Jeffrey Jerome was unable to survive his last stand in this event. Jerome was all in preflop for his last 4,500 and Marco Johnson called.

Jerome: {A-Hearts} {7-Clubs}
Johnson: {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}

The {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} flop pushed Jerome in front, but the {9-Clubs} on the turn all but ended it. Jerome was unable to complete a straight on the river, and he was sent to the cashier to collect his $5,970. It's an improvement for Jerome as he finished 39th in this same tournament last year, just shy of the money.
