Keith Ferrera is Out

Keith Ferrera
Nothing seemed to go right for Keith Ferrera today, up to and including his last two hands in the Main Event. He ran pocket sevens into Stephane Hornet's pocket aces to lose all but 180,000 of his chips, and then he lost the last of his chips to Dennis Phillips just moments later. Ferrera pushed on the button with {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}, Phillips called from the small blind with {K-Spades} {9-Spades}, and after the flop came {Q-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} and the turn the {5-Spades} it looked like Ferrera would double up...but the {K-Clubs} spiked on the river to give Phillips the pot and send Ferrera out of the tournament.
