Matt Keikoan Wins Event #7 ($2,000 No Limit Hold'em); Shannor Shorr Eliminated in 2nd Place ($349,141)

Hand #161 - Matt Keikoan

Shannon Shorr has the button in seat 3 and he moves all in. Matt Keikoan calls. The players show:

Shorr: {10-Spades} {6-Hearts}
Keikoan: {K-Spades} {5-Spades}

The crowd is on their feet as the flop comes {K-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}. Shannon Shorr will need serious help if he is to come from behind and avoid elimination.

Without the normal "delay for delay's sake," the dealer puts the {Q-Diamonds} on the turn. It's all over. Matt Keimoan has won his first bracelet. The {K-Diamonds} on the river was a mere formality. Shorr congratulated the champion and then received heartfelt consolation from his legion of supporters.

Shannon Shorr falls painfully short of his for WSOP bracelet but will leave with $349,141 to show for his outstanding efforts.
