Dean McIver Coolered Out of the Room
Dean McIver made it 800 to go from under-the-gun and picked up one caller in the small blind. The flop came and both players tapped the table.
The turn card came and the small blind checked once again. This time McIver fired a bet of 1,500 into the pot and the small blind check-raised, making it 3,500 to go. McIver instantly pushed all-in for just under 10,000 and the small blind nearly beat him to the pot with his call.
Showdown:
Opponent:
McIver:
The opponent had flopped the joint with his full house, while his opponent had made trip queens with a strong kicker. The other player would need to fade the case queen, along with kings and sixes in order to claim the pot.
River:
With that, McIver was eliminated from the tournament and his opponent built an above average chip stack.
