Belcher Busts Theologis
Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Matthew Belcher opened to 21,000 on the button, and faced a shove from a short-stacked Alexandros Theologis. Belcher snap-called, and the hands were flipped up.
Alexandros Theologis: A♠6♠ 
Matthew Belcher: A♦K♠
The 5♣2♠3♠ flop gave Theologis a lot of hope of staying alive, and the 5♥ turn gave him a chance to chop the pot. The 8♣ didn't give him the help he needed, and he was out the door.
"How did I lose this?", Theologis said in a joking way, considering how many outs he had to remain in the tournament.
"I would have taken a chop on the turn", Belcher said back.
