McKeehen Hits the Rail

Level 10 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Joe McKeehen
Joe McKeehen

Joe McKeehen was down to his last 166,000 and he shipped all in from early position. Frank Funaro asked for a count and then made the call on the button.

Joe McKeehen: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Frank Funaro: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

It was a coin flip but the flop of {6-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} proved to be no help for McKeehen. The {8-Spades} on the turn and the {k-Clubs} on the river changed nothing, allowing Funaro to score the knockout.

Kanit Eliminates Romero

Level 10 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

James Romero raised to 60,000 in early position, committing nearly half of his stack to the pot already. Mustapha Kanit was on the button and re-raised all-in. The blinds folded and Romero called off his stack of around 150,000.

James Romero: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Mustapha Kanit: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Romero was looking for one of his two outs remaining in the deck but the board of {k-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} was of no help, sending Romero to the rail.
