Big Stax 1500 (Day 2): Lydon Gets Unlucky

Level 21 (Blinds 8,000/16,000/2,000)
Total Entries: 323
Players Remaining: 30

Kevin McColgan (Douglassville, PA)

Kevin McColgan (Douglassville, PA) came into the day with 252,000, and one of the more accomplished and travelled resumes in the field.  He hovered around his Day 2 starting stack to begin the afternoon, and began to trend upwards as the field reached the bubble.

Just moments ago McColgan and Andrew Lydon would get their chips in pre in a five-bet pot worth 740,000 (with McColgan at risk).  It would be the A♠ K♣ of Lydon in dominating position against Kevin's A♦ Q♦, but everything changed when McColgan flopped a queen and ended up winning the hand.

Lydon would be left with just over 100,000 after shipping the double over, and he would be eliminated just a few hands later.
