Mike Emerson Beats Down Another Month of Contenders! - 06/11/16

You might think that once a guy has momentum, a win is pretty much in the books. Of course, the poker gods are somewhat ambivalent to momentum! Irish dispatched LA when his pocket jacks caught a jack on the river vs. pocket queens. Bonnie had him beat as well, but Irish caught a ten on the river to eliminate her with broadway. It looked like Alan would be able to finish him off with his huge chip lead, but he too eventually fell to the momentum monster.

Mike Emerson eventually faced Irish in head-to-head action with a very short stack. He kept his head together and doubled up with a dominating KK vs. KQ. After that, Irish was all in three more time with the best of it, but the deck did not cooperate. The chips all flowed to Mike's side of the table and it wasn't long before he was able to secure a back-to-back victory!
