David Forster Eliminated in 9th Place ($34,503)

David Forster - 9th Place
David Forster - 9th Place

Our first elimination of the final table has just occurred, with David Forster the man to be sent home. It all started when the action was folded around to Rocco Palumbo in the cutoff. He opened it up to 48,000. Forster was directly on his left on the button and three-bet to 105,000. With the play folded back around to Palumbo, he took a few moments before announcing the all in. Forster shrugged and said, "I call."

Forster: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Palumbo: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Forster would need plenty of help and while the turn card on a {2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades} board gave him a sweat for the straight, the {4-Clubs} river was no help and Forster was sent home.
