McKeehen's Straights Send Him Home On Bubble
Level 17
: 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
In back to back hands drawing one on the final draw against an opponent also drawing one, Joe McKeehen made a straight each time eliminating him from the tournament.
Mark Fraser was the beneficiary of McKeehen's misfortune in one of the hands as he was also drawing one all-in and made a pair of sevens, which actually took down the pot and kept him alive on the bubble.
Also falling just short of the money was Casey Robbins.
Play is now hand-for-hand as one more player needs to bust to put the remaining 44 players into the money.
