Jeffery West Eliminated in 24th Place ($6,302)
Earlier this evening Joseph McKeehen was joking about too-good-too-be-true, "made-for-TV" hands. And now at the end of the night he's been involved in just such a sequence... something that had to be seen to be believed.
On the very next hand following McKeehen's elimination of Norman Michalek, he opened again with a raise and got a single caller in Jeffery West from the blinds. The flop came 
, and when West led with a bet McKeehen put in a hefty raise. West thought a bit, then called all in.
West showed 
for top pair. McKeehen then tabled his hand... 
! Pocket aces on consecutive hands! And after the 
turn and 
river, consecutive knockouts for McKeehen as well.
That sequence catupults McKeehen up around 1.8 million, about twice that of his nearest competitor.
