Michael Conoran Eliminated in 50th Place ($180,000)
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Allan Sannier raised to 400,000 in middle position before Michael Conoran three-bet to 1,025,000 in the hijack. Sannier then four-bet to 2,250,000, and Conoran moved all in for 3,800,000. Sannier quickly called.
Michael Conoran: K♣K♠
Allan Sannier: J♥J♦
"Anyone fold a jack?" Conoran asked the table as he was a big favorite to double up with his kings. The flop, though, brought J♠8♦2♥ to give Sannier a set. No miracles arrived for Conoran on the 8♣ turn or 7♠ river, and Sannier finished with a full house to eliminate Conoran in 50th place.
"Sorry," Sannier said to him.
"Good game. Do something good with it," Conoran told him on his way to the exit.
