Justin Kadet (New York, NY)

Justin Kadet worked his short stack to near perfection but after getting cut down by Abraham Korotki, Korotki just finished the job he started a few levels ago, hitting another river to send Kadet to the rail in 4th place.

The hand was picked up with Korotki limping from under the gun and after Joe ‘Worm’ Palma folded his button and John Germano completed his small blind, Kadet announced himself “all-in” from the big blind. His all-in amount was for just under 600,000 and after looking across at Kadet’s stack, Korotki announced himself “all-in” as well.

Germano quickly got out of the way and as he tabled {10h}{10s}, Kadet seemed happy with his spot, saying, “Let’s do this.” as Korotki turned over {Qc}{9c}.

The short stack was happy with his situation until the river, as the board ran out {9h}{6c}{4d}{5h}{9d}, with Korotki hitting another huge river card against Kadet, this time to score the knockout.

Kadet will make just under $7,500 for his final table run and Korotki now looks like he’ll enter three-handed play tied with John Germano for the chip lead with just over 3,000,000. Joe ‘Worm’ Palma is within touching distance though, as he’s playing just over 2,000,000.
