Kruk Won't Repeat
Level 16
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Christopher Kruk came in as the defending champion and was looking to go for back-to-back titles in the $25,000 PCA High Roller. However, his hopes were dashed when Kelvin Kerber opened to 12,000 in the hijack and Kruk pushed all in for 46,500 in the cutoff. Thomas Muehloecker re-raised to 81,000 on the button and the rest of the table folded including Kerber.
Thomas Muehloecker: 
Christopher Kruk: 
Although Kruk was in a dominating position, the flop of 
gave Muehloecker the lead. The turn was the 
and the river was the 
to send Kruk to the rail before the money.
