"Always a Sweat"

Mark Fink won Event #10 $365 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo on Friday night for $15,835.

Michael Taliaferro opened for 3,800 and picked up a call from the player in the hijack. Mark Fink then three-bet to 8,800 from the button, the blinds both folded, and Taliaferro shoved for approximately 40,000. The hijack folded and Fink said, "It wasn't a button steal. I guess I call."

Fink: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Taliaferro: {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}

Fink was in big trouble and the {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{j-Spades} flop didn't look too promising. However, the {5-Spades} turn made things interesting as it gave Fink a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, the {7-Diamonds} river wouldn't complete it and Taliaferro doubled.

"Always a sweat," someone quipped. Indeed, that always seems to be the case.

In other news, David Pecaski, Weston Broad and Jessie Bryant have all been eliminated from the tournament.
