Fricke Gets Crushed at the End

donpeters

Pot-Limit Omaha

On the flop of {K-Hearts}

, Rami Boukai checked to Jimmy Fricke. Fricke fired out 15,000 and Boukai quickly called.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts}

and Boukai immediately announced a pot-sized bet. Fricke then said he was all in and the two players revealed their hands. Fricke held {K-Spades}

. Boukai held {K-Diamonds}

.

"I guess I need a jack or a ten." said Boukai.

Just like that, the dealer smacked the {J-Clubs}

out on the river. Fricke tossed his arms up in the air as the pot was pushed to Boukai. He was left with just 47,400 chips and will now be the short stack coming into tomorrow.

Day 2 Concludes

Shamus

Of the original starting field of 412 runners, just 14 remain in the hunt for the $241,637 first prize and Event No. 42 gold bracelet. All 14 have well demonstrated their poker knowledge and skill thus far in the eight different games required of them in the Mixed Game event. And each will be tested even further as they continue toward their goal on Tuesday's final day of play.

Jon "PearlJammer" Turner ended the day with the chip lead with 469,200, followed closely by Jerrod Ankenman with 412,400. Others returning tomorrow include Layne Flack (gunning for his seventh WSOP bracelet), Rami Boukai (looking for his second bracelet of the summer), and a short-stacked Jimmy Fricke.

Join us again tomorrow at 2 p.m. for the conclusion of Event No. 42.
