We’re deep into the end-of-day procedures now, and with fewer than 25 of today’s 164 entrants remaining every chip counts and every hand could be your last. And when you find Jacks with a short stack, you move all in. Unfortunately for Sherry Hammers, sometimes your 42,000 chip shove runs headlong into Kings, and such an occurrence happened when Yanni Orfanos woke up with  kd kh against Hammers’  jd jh.

With so many red face cards in hand, the board coming all black was to be expected. A Flop  3c qc 9c added split outs to Hammers’ hopes, which the  qs dashed on the turn. A river  kc was overkill, giving Orfanos the full house and the knockout. Hammers hits home, while Orfanos climbs back up over 125,000 with the knockout.
