Rann Hits the Rail
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
James Rann shoved for his last 13,000 first to act and was called by Alex Bergfors from directly behind, Kathy Liebert in the hijack, Kosaku Akashi in the cutoff, and Ihab Ali in the big blind for a five-way pot.
Ali checked to Bergfors, who bet 21,000 on the 9♣4♥A♦ flop. Everyone got out of the way and a showdown was held between Bergfors and Rann.
James Rann: 8♦7♠
Alex Bergfors: A♥5♠
"I need runner-runner," Rann said as he revealed his holding.
It was indeed bleak for Rann, and the 3♠ turn left him drawing dead.
The 5♥ river neednessly improved Bergfors to two pair to make Rann's elimination official.
