Musumeci Clubbed by the Kaverman
Amanda Musumeci's last hand of the tournament just went down, and interestingly enough, when she and Byron Kaverman tabled their cards on the flop, neither player could produce a pair.
According to Kaverman, the two took a flop after he flatted a 23,000 open from Musumeci, and when the first three cards hit the table he checked it her way.
Musumeci decided to fire a small feeler bet, only to see Kaverman check-raise. This prompted an all-in shove from Musumeci and a quick call from Kaverman.
Showdown:
Musumeci:
Kaverman:
Musumeci was on the move with just queen-high and a gutshot straight draw, while Kaverman was hoping to hit a flush with his king-high heart draw. Fortunately for him, the draw was not even needed, and Kaverman simply needed to hold up to notch the knockout.
The turn () paired Kaverman and the river () missed both players, leaving Musumeci with no pair, no hand and no chips.
