Merkow KO'd

We didn't catch how it all went down, but another player at the table told us the story.

Greg Merkow open shoved for around 27,800 and it was folded around to Reed Hensel in the small blind who reshoved.

The big blind got out of the way and the cards were on their backs.

Merkow: {a-}{8-}
Hensel: {8-}{8-}

The board brought no help to Merkow when it rolled out {10-}{q-}{6-}{k-}{k-} and he was sent to the payout desk.
