Serock Slide

Joe Serock raised to 35,000 from the hijack seat, and Armen Kara reraised all in for 144,000 total. Serock made the call for his own tournament life, though he didn't seem to like it. He'd like it even less when the cards were turned up:

Serock: {A-Clubs} {10-Spades}
Kara: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

Serock flopped a gutterball, but there wasn't much else to help his chances as the board rolled out {7-Clubs} {J-Spades} {9-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {5-Clubs}. Unable to get over the hump, Serock has been sent packing in 12th place. He'll earn a small pay bump, for what it's worth.

Kara was the shortest stack with 24,000 at the start of the previous level, but he now finds himself as the proud owner of about 250,000.
