Event 15: In the Money!

$570 No Limit Hold’em (Single Re-Entry)
Level 15: 1,200/2,400/400 Ante

With 28 players remaining and hand-for-hand on the Money Bubbles, three players were battling over a pot on a board of Js10h8c2h. Rachel Kranz moved all in from the big blind for about 50,000, Carlos Jerez called from the hijack, and Larry Klur folded Ad10s on the button.

Kranz turned over Jh6h for a pair of jacks with a heart flush draw, and she needed to improve to stay alive against the KhKc of Jerez.

The river card was the 8s, and Jerez won the pot with two pair, kings and eights, to eliminate Kranz in 28th place on the money bubble.

Carlos Jerez  –  235,000  (98 bb)
Larry Klur  –  145,000  (60 bb)
Rachel Kranz  –  Eliminated

With that elimination, the remaining 27 players were in the money, guaranteed at least $1,008 each. Here’s another look at the prizepool:

1st:  $31,360
