Feeling Ill

It's tough to determine which will be a harder recovery for Adam Gerber. His 24 hour illness or going from 250k in chips to the rail in four hands.

Gerber's first confrontation comes against Keith Crowder on a board of A 7 3, with Gerber holding AK. The turn is an 8, followed by a river 9. Crowder is all in for 100k and Gerber's cut in half when Crowder tables J 10 for runner, runner straight.

A few hands later against Joe Bowles (Newtown, PA), they see a board of K 3 5 10 J. Gerber leads out for 22k with 60k behind. Bowles shoves and Gerber, who's at risk, calls.

The river jack is a killer card, as it gives Bowles the straight with AQ vs the two pairs, kings and jacks for Gerber.

And just like that Gerber's on the rail, while Bowles is close to 250k. Crowder doubles to ~200k.

Level 13 (800/1600/200 ante) winding down.
