Dramatic Runout Ends Kerbis’ Tournament
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Richard Kerbis had a short stack of around 24,000 to start the hand and went all in from the button. He got a call from Stewart Meredith in the big blind.
Richard Kerbis:A♥Q♦
Stewart Meredith:A♣J♠
When dealing out the flop, the dealer showed a jack in the window, prompting a sigh from Kerbis, but then the entire Q♣A♠J♦ flop was revealed. Kerbis was at risk, but still well ahead.
The turn was the 6♣ and Kerbis could only lose to two remaining jacks on the river. To Kerbis’ disappointment and disbelief of the table, the dealer turned over the unlikely J♣ and that was it for his tournament.
