Sarkeshik Sunk
Finally Ali Sarkeshik's Event #59 has ended in 24th place, but not before he left everyone with a few last grins by which to remember him.
All in from the small blind against Brian Brubaker (big blind) and Michael Mizrachi (cutoff), Sarkeshik took three cards and the others each took two.
"I check!" said Sarkeshik with a grin, even though he had no chips left with which to bet.
Brubaker also checked, Mizrachi bet, and Brubaker called. Sarkeshik and Brubaker both took two on the next draw, and Mizrachi just one. Again it checked to Mizrachi who bet, and Brubaker folded this time.

Sarkeshik squeezed his last card — a 
— then bid everyone good luck before he departed. Meanwhile, Mizrachi has pushed up over 350,000 and into the lead once again.
