Charles Furey - 5th Place

"Now we're talking!" said the tournament director announcing this final table. He was referring to some significant action preflop. Charles Furey opened with a raise to 135,000 that Ken Aldridge re-raised to 400,000. Furey responded by moving all in; Aldridge quickly called.

Furey: {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

Aldridge:

{9-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

Aldridge had Furey covered, but only just barely. With Aldridge standing and Furey seated, the flop came down {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

. Both players reacted; Aldridge gave a short fist-pump while Furey slammed the table in frustration. The {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

on the turn was a good sweat card, as it gave Furey a flush draw, but the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

on the river didn't help him at all.

Furey was eliminated in 5th place, earning $80,896. Aldridge, meanwhile, has the chip lead once again.
