Gene Mulroy Eliminated in 2nd Place ($24,237)

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
Gene Mulroy - 2nd Place

John Meyer doubled the big blind on the button, Gene Mulroy defended his big blind, and the dealer fanned {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{k-Hearts}. Mulroy pushed all in, and Meyer instantly called.

Meyer: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Mulroy: {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

"I'm drawing dead," Mulroy chuckled.

This wasn't true - he could still win the hand with a five on the turn or river - but perhaps he was simply foreshadowing, because the turn was the {q-Hearts}, giving Meyer a full house and a mortal lock on the hand.

The {9-Diamonds} completed the hand, and the tournament was over. Just like that.

Every remaining person in the Signature Room was truly stunned, offering their congratulations to the newest 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open champion. Even Mulroy had to clap him on his back and shake his hand.

Mulroy avoided Meyer's crosshairs just long enough to finish runner-up for $24,237. According to Hendon Mob, this is his second career cash.
