What the Fouksman?
Eugene Fouksman got the last of his stack in the middle holding 
, but he was quickly put at risk when Kunal Patel moved in over the top for the isolation move. Fouksman's jack kicker was in bad shape against Patel's 
, but when the flop rolled out 
he took the lead with top two pair.
The 
on the turn changed nothing, and Fouksman was one card away from a come-from-behind victory to preserve his tournament life.
River: 
Just like that, the best hand before the flop - which had trailed through fourth street - was suddenly catapulted back in front. Fouksman shot of his chair and shouted at the sight of the dreaded three-outer, even though it had been a three-out shot that brought him back from the brink in the first place. Fouksman finished in 83rd place and earned a decent cash, but having to walk by the trophy he came to claim after a bad beat did not leave him looking satisfied with the result.
