Fifield Uses His One Time

GeoffFisk

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

Richard Fifield won his seat into the $1,650 Main Event by winning a $260 buy-in, $100,000 guaranteed tournament earlier this week at the Thunder Valley Poker Room. As of Level 5 in Day 1b action, Fifield is still running good.

Fifield, on the big blind, and an opponent on the hijack arrived at the turn on a board. Fifield bet 6,400, and the opponent shoved. A call would put Fifield at risk, and Fifield thought it over for a bit before committing the rest of his chips.

Richard Fifield:
Hijack:

Fifield saw that he was in trouble against the hijack's straight. "One time," pronounced Fifield, asking for a seven.

The seven indeed came in, as the river gave Fifield the full boat.
