Weilbacher Scoops with Nines; McEwen Exits
Short-stacked Preston McEwen opened to 7,000 from his 8,500 stack and the action folded to David Chen, who thought long and hard about it but decided to fold, and then James Weilbacher moved all in for around 28,000 right behind him.
The action then folded to the big blind who shoved for more and McEwen thought about it for two seconds before he shrugged and got the rest of his chips in as well.
Preston McEwen: A♠9♠
James Weilbacher: 9♣9♦
Big Blind: A♣K♦
"Oh man, I'm in pretty bad shape," McEwen chuckled as he sipped his drink, "Come on, spades!"
Sure enough, the flop came out 2♠10♠4♣ to give him the nut flush draw for a big sweat, but the runout of 3♣10♣ failed to get him there and Weilbacher scooped with his nines.
"Agh, well at least it was a sweat!" McEwen said as he made his way towards the exit while Chen was kicking himself for folding pocket threes.
