After bouncing from a 3 to 1 chip deficit, to a 3 to 1 chip lead and back to the short stack, “Ping Pang” Kerr gets his last 80k all in with AhKc vs Joe Gibbons’ QcJc.

Gibbons flops a Queen and rivers two pairs to take the title .

“You play for first or you don’t play,” says Kerr who finishes runner-up and wasn’t interested in negotiating a chop. “I’d like to play again for another $14,000.”

Kerr takes home $8,450 for second place, his second final table of the series after winning Event 9 for $20,250.

The finish has Kerr poised to vault to the top of the Tournament Leaderboard promotion after starting the day in fourth place.
