Paur Hanks

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

After a couple raises in front of him, Brent Hanks moved all in for 22,500 more from the big blind. Only Taylor Paur made the call and the cards were turned up:

Paur: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Hanks: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}

It was another race situation but not so much after the flop fell {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}{6-Hearts}. Paur was still ahead and left Hanks drawing thin. The {9-Diamonds} turn changed nothing and neither did the {3-Clubs} river. Hanks was eliminated from the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $25,000 High Roller Tournament, while Paur chipped up to around 145,000.
