Myles Phago

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jeffrey Slayton raised from late position to 75,000 but faced a three-bet from Ronan Sweeney in the small blind to 210,000. Slayton thought for a while before he announced all in. Sweeney snap-called and had Slayton covered.

Jeffrey Slayton: K♦K♣ All in
Ronan Sweeney: A♦K♠

A dangerous flop of 7♠J♠10♦ came for Slayton, and when the Q♣ fell on the turn to make Sweeney a gutshot straight, Slayton was drawing dead to a chop and not a happy bunny as he was sent packing and off to the cage when the 10♠ came on the river.
