Barry "The Beast" Kruger Eliminated in 6th Place ($1,193)

Chad Holloway

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

After Barry "The Beast" Kruger raised preflop and Kevin Volz called from the small blind, the flop came down and a raising war saw them get a lot of chips in the middle.

Kruger:
Volz:

Kruger seemed devastated that his flush draw was no good, and he began calling for a queen. The turn wasn't it, and neither was the river. Both players made a flush, but of course the ace-high one of Volz was best. Kruger was left with just 160,000 after the hand while Volz vaulted to 1.65 million.

In the very next hand, action folded to Andy Spears in the small blind and he moved all in to put the pressure on Kruger, who thought for a bit before calling off his last 85,000.

Spears:

Kruger was behind, but he was drawing to two live cards. The flop was as dry as could be, and the turn actually left him drawing dead. The meaningless was run out on the river for good measure, and Kruger shook hands with each of the remaining five players before exiting the tournament area.
