Norman Sent to the Locker Room

Ken Norman got his last remaining chips in preflop. The showdown pitted Norman's {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} against Jason Sanders' {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}. The former NBA player remained ahead through a flop of {7-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {6-Spades}, but the turn brought disaster in the form of the {A-Diamonds}. Norman couldn't sink his one remaining out as the river closed his day with a {2-Clubs}. Norman, who cashed earlier on the circuit, played most of the day with a below-average chip stack, but proved to be tough out.
