Michael Pesek Crippled Then Eliminated

Michael Pesek has been crippled, then eliminated from the Main Event.

In the hand that crippled him, Pesek opened on a flop of {7-Clubs}{8-Spades}{10-Spades} from middle position for 1,600 and was raised to 4,000 by the big blind. Pesek responded by sliding his entire circa 18,000-chips stack into the middle, which his opponent snap-called for 700 less.

Pesek's top set {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} was in front of his opponent's {2-Spades}{4-Spades}, until the river brought the {6-Spades} which left Pesek on only 700 chips.

He then got into a battle of the blinds with his tiny stack, pushing all in with {6-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and having the big blind call with {j-Clubs}{7-Spades}. The board was no help to Pesek and he'll have to wait till 2010 to chase the Aussie Millions Main Event bracelet.
