The action folded around to John Brock in the small blind and he shoved his short stack into the big blind of fellow shorty, Jack Kerr. Kerr actually woke up with a hand and made the call.
John Brock:
Jack Kerr:
Brock was in trouble as the dealer issued a board. Brock binked trips on the turn and doubled up leaving Kerr with one big blind.
Unfortunately, Kerr was not able to spin it back up and busted the next hand setting up a 10-handed final table.
