Michael Pesek Eliminated in 6th Place (AU$23,220)

[user67765]

Jason Gray limped from under the gun and Michael Binger came long in the cutoff. Michael Pesek completed the small blind and Josh Field checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came {6-Hearts}

and the action checked to Binger in position who fired 4,000. Pesek called in the small blind, before Field check-raised to 12,000. Gray folded, as did Binger, as Pesek went into the tank.

Pesek took a glance at Field's stack, removed his sunglasses, before slowly sliding the rest of his chips into the middle. Field snap-called.

Pesek: {A-Spades}

Field:

Pesek was still drawing as Field had flopped the nut straight. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}

and river the {Q-Diamonds}

and Pesek becomes our 6th place finisher as "JJProdigy" adds to his stack.
