Kimberley Kilroy is Beaming After Her Huge Triple Up
Michel Bouskila opened for 45,000, James McClendon called, and Kimberley Kilroy thought this was a good time to move her short stack of 129,000 all in.
She was not pleased to see Bouskila make the four-bet, reraising to 275,000, and when McClendon called she stood up in preparation to make her exit.
The flop fell , and after a check by Bouskila, McClendon moved all-in himself. The play pushed Bouskila out of the pot, and McLendon turned over the expecting to be in the lead.
Kilroy revealed the , however, and her flopped set gave her a huge advantage over McClendon's single pair. The on the turn brought a gutshot draw for McClendon, and some added sweat for the last lady left in the Seniors Championship, but the on the river secured her the triple up.
"I folded ," said Bouskila quietly to nobody in particular. "The ace came..."
Hoyt Corkins Will Not Return to the Seniors Championship Final Table
As one of the few players in the world to have won twice at the WSOP and on the WPT, Hoyt Corkins was by far the most experienced player left in our field. Seeking to improve on his 4th place finish in this event last year, Corkins will have to try another day after his Seniors Championship run came to an end at the hands of Harold Kizzire.
Kizzire took a large portion of Corkins stack in a previous clash, and he finished the Alabam Cowboy off with . THe action folded around to Kizzire in the small blind, and he looked over at Corkins' short stack to see 20,000 of his 80,000 as dead money in the big blind. Kizzire quickly moved all in to put Corkins at risk if he called, and he was happy to see the dangerous pro turn over just .
"Worst hand I could see," said Corkins. "I'd rather go up against aces here."
Corkins' suspicions were confirmed on the flop, and his gutshot never got there on the turn () or river (), sending him home short of consecutive final table appearances at the Seniors Championship.
We didn't see the action, but nobody could mistake the agony in Mark "P0ker H0" Kroon's voice when he screamed out as a bad river card hit the board.
Apparently, Kroon made a play with on the board, but Kenneth Lind wanted to the river with his . With all of his chips in the middle, Kroon's read was right and his ace-high hand was in front, but the on the river ended his tournament in painful fashion.
You would think with the two of the biggest stacks in the room at the same table, they would be staying out of each other's way. That doesn't seem to be the case.
We came to the table just as James Miller moved all in on the flop and Kenneth Lind made the call. Miller showed for a flush and Lind was drawing dead with . The irrelevant turn and river cards were dealt and Miller took down a huge pot and is now the clear chip leader.
It was a quick elimination for seven players bringing the tournament to its final 27 players. The players are currently redrawing for new seats and we will post those seat assignments and chip counts shortly.
After dropping an earlier pot, we saw William Lux push his last 28,000 forward holding the button. In a normal blind stealing situation, this move may have worked, but with Hoyt Corkins and Michael Thorpe still to act behind him, Lux was called in two spots.
The flop came down , and after Corkins checked to Thorpe, he immediately announced himself all in. Corkins got out of the way, and Lux turned over his for top pair. Unfortunately for him, Thorpe held the , and his rags had turned to riches on the ragged flop. The on the turn added some outs for Lux, and Thorpe called out for no more hearts to come. When the brought the wrong kind of red, Lux was eliminated here early on this Day 3 of the Seniors Championship.
The action began with Gary Margolis moving all in from middle position with his final 90,000. George Wright, form the cutoff, decided to follow the action with his own all in for more and it didn't stop there as Harold Kizzire also went all in on the button.
