Fitzgerald Finds Out

With the action folded around to the blinds, David Jaoui limped in from the small, and Alex Fitzgerald slowly tapped the table from the big.

The flop came out {Q-Spades} {4-Spades} {K-Hearts}, and Jaoui led out with a bet of 3,600. Fitzgerald quickly flicked in an oversized calling chip, and the turn card brought the {10-Hearts}. Both men checked the action before the {K-Diamonds} hit the river. Jaoui took control again with another bet, 6,500 this time. Fitzgerald paused for just a quick beat before once again calling.

Jaoui was reluctant to turn his cards over, eventually showing an airball {6-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. Fitzgerald tabled {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades}, his ace-high good enough to add a few chips to his stack.

Shortly after that hand, Oleksander Vaserfirer opened with a raise to 6,600 from the cutoff, then Fitzgerald reraised to 17,500 from the small blind. It folded back to Vaserfirer who reraised again to 40,500. Fitzgerald thought a moment, then announced he was all in. The dealer counted out his chips -- 131,600 total.

Vaserfirer thought for two minutes, then finally folded. "Queens? Ace-king?" asked Fitzgerald's tablemates. He just smiled.

Fitzgerald is up to 180,000, while Vaserfirer now sits with about 135,000.
