Tim Reilly Eliminated After Two Back to Back Hands

On a board reading [ad][kh][qc] Tim Reilly checked under the gun and Robert Campion bet 8,000 in the cutoff.  Reilly called.

Reilly again checked when the turn came the [2c], and Campion bet 10,000.  Reilly shoved all in and the Campion quickly called.  

Campion had flopped two pair holding [as][qs].  But Reilly had flopped Broadway holding [js][10s].  

Unfortunately for Reilly, the river was the [ah] giving Campion a full house and leaving Reilly with less than a big blind behind.  

The next hand, Reilly was all in blind in the big blind for 250 (blinds are currently 300/600 with a 75 ante).  

Jeremy Meacham raised to 1,250.  Robert Campion called in the hijack and the button called as well.  

The flop came [ad][qd][3h].  Meacham contiued for 2,000 and only Campion called.  

Both players checked the [3d] turn and [10h] river.  

Reilly turned over [kc][3s].  Meacham showed [ac][6c] and Campion showed [ah][9s].  Meacham and Campion chopped it up, and Reilly was sent to the rail.  

Just got 4 outered for 100k pot with the nuts vs top 2 on turn Out and back at it tomorrow.

The flop came [10h][8c][7d] leaving Campion in the lead but giving Parizo a gut-shot straight draw.

The [5c] turn and [2d] river did not provide Korres the help that he needed and he was sent home in 8th place.
