England Sends Eychenne to the Rail

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Thomas Eychenne was all in for around 80,000 and Brian England was the one to put him at risk. The cards were turned up and the dealer was ready to go.

Thomas Eychenne: {4-}{4-}
Brian England: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{a-Spades}{9-Spades} and the fives were counterfeited, but one was good for a kicker for England to send Eychenne to the rail.
