RIP Fritzer; Gawel Soars Into Seven Figures
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Rip Fritzer raised it up from under the gun and Matthew Gawel flat-called in the cutoff. The dealer fanned the flop of J♣8♦6♠ and Fritzer continued with a bet. Gawel raised to 70,000 and Fritzer jammed all in for just over 300,000. Gawel snapped him off and the cards were face up.
Rip Fritzer: A♠A♥
Matthew Gawel: 6♥6♦
Fritzer's pocket aces were in danger against the set of sixes from Gawel. The K♠ on the turn and the 8♥ on the river changed nothing and Fritzer was sent to the rail.
