Donkey Bomber: 4th Place

OK, now I feel bad. From worldpokertour.com:

Hand #80: Tom Schneider Eliminated in 4th Place ($228,625)

Hand #80 – Thu Nguyen has the button in seat 4, Schneider moves all in under the gun for 1,070,000, and David Pham calls from the small blind with KK. Schneider shows A9, and he\’ll need to improve to stay alive.

The flop comes J-10-9, and Schneider picks up additional outs with a pair of nines. He\’s looking for an ace or a nine, and he\’ll also need to avoid kings and queens.

The turn card is [a] 10, and the river card is [a] 6. David Pham wins the pot with two pair, kings and tens.

Tom Schneider is eliminated in fourth place, earning $228,625. The final three players are guaranteed at least $388,660.

Nice job, Tom. Seriously. But really, you didn\’t need to give Karridy and me our old material back by busting out so close to the real shizznit. Better cards next time.

Follow the remaining action — you know, the part where they play cards to divvy up almost $3 million the other players left behind — here.
