Fraley On the Ascent
Hand #1: Action was heads up on a board reading 
with around 9,000 in the middle. The big blind checked to Chris Fraley in middle position, who bet 7,300 and received a call after half a minute.
The river came 
and the big blind checked again. Fraley went all in for 18,400, a bit more than his opponent had left. More than two minutes went by, with the player putting his head into his hands as he pondered over the decision for his tournament life. Eventually, a fold was made and Fraley took down the pot.
Hand #2: On the very next hand, a player in early position raised to 2,600 and Fraley three-bet to 6,000 one seat over. Action folded back to the original raiser, who four-bet jammed for 16,200. Fraley called.
All-In Player: 
Fraley: 
An ace appeared in the window of the flop 
, giving the all-in player his much-needed three outer. The turn 
left the situation the same, but the river came behind to improve Fraley to a full house, queens full of nines, and score him the knockout and accompanying pot.
