Brandon Fish Eliminated in 4th Place ($11,520)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Brandon Fish
Brandon Fish

Brandon Fish shoved under the gun for 204,000. Mike Sortino jammed in the next seat for around 650,000. Russell Licking thought long and hard in the big blind.

"I like my hand," Fish declared.

"I'm ahead," Licking said.

Finally, he folded.

Sortino: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Fish: {5-Spades}{4-Spades}

Fish was hoping to have live cards but was glad to see {5-Hearts}{7-Spades}{j-Diamonds} flop to give him some equity with a pair and some backdoor draws. He expressed disgust when the {j-Hearts} hit the turn to leave him down to two outs, and a {2-Clubs} river was a blank.

Licking claimed to have mucked queens.

Two Streets for Licking

Houston called, and both players checked the flop, leading to a board of {10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{q-Spades}. This time, Houston check-called 50,000. He did the same for 100,000 on the {3-Diamonds} river.

Licking showed {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} for trips.
