Shorr Heads For the Door

Shannon Shorr and Mike Caro were both all in before the flop with very short stacks, and a third player called them both down to put two at risk. Shorr held {K-Clubs} {10-Hearts}, Caro had {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts}, and the would-be double eliminator turned over {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}.

An ace flopped, but Caro ran down two pair on a board of {3-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {7-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}. With that, the Mad Genius has nearly tripled up to just over 5,000, sending Shannon Shorr to the exit.
