The Captain Sets Sail

Level 19 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Tom Franklin
Tom Franklin

A short-stacked "Captain" Tom Franklin moved all in from early position and received a call from Shawn Quillin. "I only looked at one card," Franklin admitted and showed the {A-Hearts}. "Come on ace," he pleaded when he revealed the other card, a measly {3-Spades}. Quillin then rolled over {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and left the Captain looking for an ace.

The {10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop was nothing exciting, and neither was the {J-Diamonds} turn. Franklin needed help on the river to stay alive, and while the {3-Clubs} paired him, it wasn't enough to give him the win. With that, the "Captain" has departed.

Meanwhile, Kevin Eyster and Shain Matthews have both been eliminated from the tournament.
