Level 16
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
We found Craig McCorkell all in and at risk for roughly 100,000 before the flop. McCorkell was up against Bradley Craig and in need of improvement.
McCorkell: 
Craig: 
The flop came down 
, keeping Craig's ace-king high out in front. The 
dropped down on the turn, meaning that McCorkell would need to spike a jack for the full double or a five to chop the pot.
The dealer burned and produced a dramatic river card — the 
— ensuring that McCorkell would stay alive. Craig shipped a majority of his stack to the other end of the table and is now left with 85,000. McCorkell, on the other hand, now has about 220,000 in chips.
Meanwhile on an adjacent table, a short-stacked Randy Ohel was eliminated from play.
