Forshey Eliminates Opponent
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
There were approximately 6,000 in the middle on a board that read A♦8♥6♠4♥. The hijack bet 4,000 before Ted Forshey raised to 9,000 on the button. The hijack jammed and was snap called by Forshey to be at risk.
Opponent: 6♥4♣
Ted Forshey: 4♦4♠
The hijack held two pairs, but it was in rough shape against the set of Forshey.
The K♥ river did not alter the standings as Forshey took down the pot and scored the knockout.
"If you want to be successful at poker, don't jam into a set," said Forshey as he dragged in the chips.
