Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Joe McKeehen

A player in late position raised to 1,500 and Valentin Vornicu called from the cutoff. Joe McKeehen called from the big blind and they went three-handed to the {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop. It checked to Vornicu who bet 2,500 and McKeehen called.

They went heads up to the {3-Spades} turn and McKeehen check-called a bet of 4,500 from Vornicu. The river was the {2-Spades}, McKeehen checked and Vornicu moved all in covering McKeehen who had just over 8,000 behind.

McKeehen called turning over his {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for top pair but Vornicu showed {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} to send McKeehen to the rail.
