Ted Forrest Chopped Down

Ted Forrest's run for the title has ended at the hands of online qualifier Stephen Quinn.

Forrest moved all in preflop for 14,000 holding {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and got the call from Quinn who held {4-?}{4-?}.

The race was over quickly when the flop fell {4-?}{j-?}{5-?} giving Quinn a commanding lead. A king on the turn gave Forrest a chance for a gut shot straight, but the {A-Clubs} on the river didn't help his hand.

Quinn will return tomorrow for the round of 32.
