Emmerson Hits the Rail
Level 6
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
When it checked to Gergo Nagy on the 4♥10♠3♠ flop, he bet 2,500, only for Robert Emmerson to check-raise to 15,400 out of the small blind. From the big blind, Jim Collopy potted it to around 65,000, forcing Esther Taylor and Nagy to fold. Emmerson called for his few remaining chips and the cards were revealed.
Robert Emmerson: Q♥10♥8♠3♥ 
Jim Collopy: A♥5♠3♣2♠
Emmerson had two pair and would need a clean runout to stay in the tournament. The rest of the board came 2♣Q♠ to give Collopy the winner with a flush, sending Emmerson to the rail.
