Rolfe Takes Down McKeehen
Niveau 21
: Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante
Three-time WSOP bracelet winner Joe McKeehen was fighting an uphill battle after the break.
He had the smallest chip stack at his table when the big blind came to him midway through Level 21, and he faced a raise from Byron Rolfe, who was on the button. After the small blind folded, McKeehen called the raise, leading to a flop of 2♠4♦5♥.
McKeehen immediately made an all-in bet, and Rolfe called.
McKeehen: A♠2♥
Rolfe: K♦5♦
Rolfe was ahead, and McKeehen needed help to the turn, which produced Q♦. The dealer then placed a third diamond on the board, giving Rolfe the flush and ending McKeehen’s tournament.
