Hicks Eliminates Sommerville

Eric Hicks opened with a raise preflop to 2,000 and Jason Sommerville made the call. Both liked the flop of {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts} as all of the chips were pushed quickly into the middle.

Somerville held A-J but was in trouble as Hicks held A-9 for the flopped top two pair. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and river {2-Clubs} to send Sommerville to the rail as Eric Hicks jumps to about 55,000 in chips.
