Kurtzman Sends Crooks Home

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

The players start out with a very deep stack as they enter the tournament with 26,200 at the big blind of 100. Eben Kurtzman already sent Matthew Crooks to the rail and he is now up to 470 big blinds.

The pot had about 20,000 in it and the board read {10-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} when Crooks put in his last 12,000.

Kurtzman didn't take too long before he put his chips in the middle as well.

Kurtzman opened up {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and he was ahead against the {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} of Crooks.

The river was the {6-Spades} and Kurtzman sent Crooks to the rail in the first level of the tournament.
