Timber! Forrest Falls From the Field

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

We spotted Ted Forrest in the field but unfortunately it was as he was involved in his last hand of the day.

With the board reading {q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{k-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Forrest raised to 600 under the gun and the player in the cutoff re-raised to 2,300. Forrest only had around 2,000 left in his stack so if he called it would be for his tournament life.

Forrest did eventually make the call and the other player showed the {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the nut flush and Forrest was eliminated from the tournament.
