Dean McIver Coolered Out of the Room

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Dean McIver made it 800 to go from under-the-gun and picked up one caller in the small blind. The flop came {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{9-Clubs} and both players tapped the table.

The turn card came {6-Clubs} 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: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
McIver: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

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: {2-Hearts}

With that, McIver was eliminated from the tournament and his opponent built an above average chip stack.
