IP Biloxi Main Event Champ Sent to the Rail

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Earlier this year, Jerry Monroe captured the IP Biloxi Main Event title and punched his ticket to the National Championship. Monroe was in action today, but his deep run recently came to an end just shy of the money. It happened when he shoved for 38,500 from the cutoff and Lance Simon called from the small blind.

Showdown

Monroe{A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Simon{K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

Monroe was ahead, but not after the flop fell {J-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. Simon flopped big and locked up the hand when the {3-Clubs} turn left Monroe drawing dead. The meaningless {A-Spades} was put out on the river as Monroe collected his things and exited the tournament floor.
