While Connor Drinan was winning that previous pot, Marc Kropf chatted up the reporters from Seat 5.

“I’m about to double up,” Kropf said. “You should stick around.”

As he was saying those very words, action folded around to the blinds, where he was in the big with about 20,000 chips left. Joe McKeehen moved all in from the small in front of him, and Kropf instantly called all in to put himself at risk.

McKeehen:
Kropf:

It looked for moment that Kropf was going to be a wizard of foreshadowing, but the proverbial poker gods had other ideas.

The flop gave McKeehen a big lead with a set of fours, and the on the turn added insult to Kropf’s injury as McKeehen made quad fours. He was drawing dead to the river, eliminated at the hands of McKeehen.

Joe McKeehen – 100,000 (83 bb)
Marc Kropf – Eliminated
