Philachack Found Wanting

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Andy Philachack was all-in and marginally ahead of Christoph Vogelsand in terms of chips, with 20,000 to Vogelsang's 17,200. A battle of the micro-stacks then, but Vogelsang held pocket aces, way ahead of Philachack's {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}. They stayed ahead across the {7-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Vogelsang doubled up.

Philachack went out in the next hand when his 2,700 pile was called three-ways, Fabrizio Gonzalez eventually betting the turn on a {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{5-Spades} board and getting the others to fold. His {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} rode the brick river home and dry against a crestfallen Philachack's {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.
