Whitehouse's Journey Comes to an End
PokerNews' Brad Whitehouse Main Event run has come to end, getting rivered in a pot close to 490,000.
The under the gun player raised to 8,000 from under the gun. Whitehouse and Yevhen Korynetskyi called before the small blind shoved for 31,000. He was called in all three spots.
It checked to Whitehouse on the 10♥7♥6♠ flop, and he bet 40,000. Korynetskyi shoved as the big stack, folding out the original raiser. Whitehouse, who started the hand with 210,000, pondered his options before calling for his tournament life.
Under-the-gun: K♠Q♠
Brad Whitehouse: A♥J♥
Yevhen Korynetskyi: 10♣9♣
Whitehouse had a nut-flush draw and overcards to hit to stay alive. The J♠ turn gave him the lead to become one of the chip leaders in the room, but the 8♣ fell on the river to give Korynetskyi the straight for the checkmark and double KO.
