Fitzgerald Shrinks to Starting Stack as Ung Doubles; Merkow Exits

A few hands after losing the big pot to Surya Sigdel, Gregg Merkow and Michael Fitzgerald got it all in preflop against Chikong Ung, with Fitzgerald covering. 

 

Merkow: 7♠3♣

Ung: 5♣5♥

Fitzgerald: A♦K♠

 

The board ran out 6♦10♦8♣2♣3♥ for Ung's fives to hold and he was shipped the pot for the double up while Merkow hit the rail. 

 

Having over 100,000 just a few hands ago, Fitzgerald was shaking his head at his string of bad luck as he was left with 27,000.

 

Ung - 90,000
Fitzgerald - 27,000

Merkow - 0
