Cooler Flop Sees Zarnoch Take Out McCurdy
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Yingge Yan opened from early position and was called by Heitor Saraiva in the hijack, Maxwell McCurdy in the small blind, and Corey Zarnoch in the big blind.
On the 6♥5♥2♠ flop, the action checked all the way to Saraiva who put out a bet before McCurdy check-raised to 35,000. In the big blind, Zarnoch would jam all-in. It folded back to McCurdy who snap-called for his remaining 74,000 total.
Maxwell McCurdy: 5♠5♣ 
Corey Zarnoch: 4♥3♦
It was a cooler scenario as McCurdy flopped middle set but was behind the flopped straight of Zarnoch. The board ran out 10♦9♠ as McCurdy could not find his needed board pair, and was sent to the exit in brutal fashion.
