Justice is Served as Two Get Knocked Down

Roxanne Johnson

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Didier Guerin moved all in from under the gun for about 1,118,000 and Daris Justice with the dominant stack also shoved all in and Mark Seiden who had about 200,000 behind came along for the ride on the big blind.

Mark Seiden: Q♦K♥
Didier Guerin: J♠J♥
Daris Justice: 10♣10♥

Immediately the board awarded Justice with a set on the flop and ended it with a full house not really giving the other players any hope of improving. The board was 7♠10♦9♥A♣7♣. And just like that two more players were gone. The group has been dissipating quickly starting the day at 258 and now it is already down to 80.
