Set-Over-Set Cooler Sends McKeehen to the Rail Two Off the Money
2015 World Series of Poker Main Event champ Joe McKeehen was spotted making a beeline to the exit, and a quick visit to his former table confirmed he'd just been eliminated.
Mike Linster was the beneficiary of McKeehen's stack, and while we didn't catch the action as it happened, both Jessica Dawley and Will "The Thrill" Failla were kind enough to shed some light on what had just transpired.
As they told it, Linster and McKeehen held 
and 
respectively and the flop came down with a queen.
McKeehen checked and Linster played it coy by checking back. The dealer burned and turned a and the chips eventually went in to create a massive 500k pot.
Of course, Linster's ladies were best in the brutal set-over-set hand and he was all smiles as he stacked the pot. With that, just 251 players remaining meaning hand-for-hand play has begun.
