Cho Eliminates Merkow

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Joon Cho opened to 11,000 early and action folded to Gregg Merkow.

"God, I hope I can play with you," Merkow said.

He looked at his cards and shoved for about 35,000. Cho called with {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} and Merkow was slightly ahead with {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. The {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} was safe for him but the {k-Diamonds} turn left him needing an ace. The river was the {4-Clubs}.

"I run so bad, it's unbelievable," Merkow said. "Good luck, everybody."
