Cliff Josephy Eliminated by Jeremy Menard

With the board reading [7s6s5d8d], Cliff Josephy is all in for 18,825, Jeremy Menard is all in for 21,375, and Roland Israelashvili (with 11,200 committed post turn) calls to put both players at risk.

Josephy: [7h4h]
Menard: [9c8c]
Israelashvili: [Ks2s]

Menard is ahead with a nine-high straight, Josephy is drawing to a chop, and Israelahvili needs a spade to win and a nine to chop.

The [4d] river misses Israelashvili, giving Menard the near triple up, eliminating Josephy in the process.

Jeremy Menard – 77,000 (154 bb)
Roland Israelashvili – 9,000 (18 bb)
