Jimmy Fricke Knocks Out Two Players - Takes Over Chip Lead

Jimmy Fricke just knocked out two players in a row and in the process took over the chip lead. First on a board of {A-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} , a player moved all in on Fricke and after tanking a few minutes, Fricke made the call. Fricke showed {J-Spades} {J-Clubs} and his opponent mucked.

The very next hand, a player moved all in on Fricke for 7,000 total and Fricke made the call showing {A-Spades} {K-Spades}. His opponent tabled {8-Spades} {8-Clubs}. The flop missed both players when it came {6-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {3-Hearts}. An {A-Diamonds} on the turn gave Fricke the better pair. The {5-Diamonds} on the river sealed the hand for Fricke, and eliminated his opponent.

After these two hands, Jimmy Fricke sits with approximately 80,000 in chips.
