That's Some Crazy (Beep)!

Level 35 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

The song went raise, call, check down, repeat and Mark Darner was falling behind the beat until he only had about 2,600,000 behind.

David Mcgowan, on the button, open-shoved all in and Darner called.

Mark Darner: 97 All in
David Mcgowan: K9

When he saw the hands, in frustration and resignation, he went, "I'm not even live." Mcgowan was ahead with king-high when the flop dropped 986.

Both players hit top pair but Mcgowan had the better kicker. There was still a bit of hope for Darner as he also had an open-ended straight draw. The 10 completed his straight on the turn.

The river J was dealt prompting Darner to quietly say, "That's some crazy s**t," as he stayed alive in the tournament.
