Cernuto Survives....Barely

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

"Miami" John Cernuto came into today with a measly stack of 4,000, and we knew he would have to get it in quickly. Down to his final 3,000, Cernuto got it in the middle against Todd Brunson preflop.

Cernuto: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}
Brunson:{a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

The two players were likely to chop the high, unless Cernuto paired his three or Brunson his two. The board ran down {5-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}, giving three quarters of the pot to Brunson, who's low was slightly better. This leaves Cernuto with just 1,100 in chips, while Brunson is doing fine with 21,000.
