Giesbrecht Gone

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Sean Giesbrecht
Sean Giesbrecht

Sean Giesbrecht, who fired two bullets in this event, open-shipped under the gun for his last 24,000 and action folded to Team PokerStars Pro Eugene Katchalov, who called from the big blind.

Katchalov: {a-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Giesbrecht: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Giesbrecht was a heavy favorite, but disaster struck when the {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop paired Katchalov's kicker. Neither the turn nor river helped Giesbrechet, and he headed for the exit here in the last level of the night.
