Forsyth Wakes Up with Rockets

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
John Forsyth
John Forsyth

Frank Brannan opened under the gun for 4,000 and the cutoff player three-bet to 12,000. Lloyd Breuer called on the button while John Forsyth four-bet to 40,000 from the big blind. Brannan mucked his hand while the cutoff player five-bet jammed getting a fold from Breuer and a call from Forsyth.

John Forsyth: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Forsyth had his opponent crushed and improved to set with the {5-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} flop.

The {10-Diamonds} turn brought a sweat for Forsyth bringing not only chop outs to the diamond but his opponent could win the hand with any jack.

Luckily for Forsyth, the river fell a brick the {3-Hearts} eliminating his opponent.
