Fuchs Flips Out Kromes

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Sven Kromes was all in for around 30,000 against Tom Fuchs, who had him covered.

Sven Kromes: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Tom Fuchs: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The flop of {2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} kept Kromes ahead with queens and he needed to just dodge an ace or king to stay alive.

"Very good!" said Phachara Wongwichit, who was sitting next to Kromes.

The {2-Clubs} on the turn didn't change things but the {a-Clubs} then peeled off on the river to bring an "oh!" out of Wongwichit and to send Kromes out of the tournament.
