Neal Corcoran

Greg Rosen limped from middle position and Neal Corcoran raised to 26,000 from the hijack. The big blind called, Rosen folded after thinking about coming along, and the flop came QcJs6s. The big blind looked at his stack and pushed it in for 121,000 to get the shrug/call from Corcoran.

Corcoran: Th9s
Big Blind: KsQd

The big blind was ahead with his top pair but needed to dodge Corcoran’s open-ended straight draw. The 2d turn was safe but the Kd river completed the straight for Corcoran. His opponent sat there for a minute with no chips in front as he contemplated his bubble luck.

Tournament staff broke a table and Event 24 is down to the last five tables of the tournament.

Neal Corcoran – 891,000 (149 bb)
