Hero to Zero

[user67765]

In an amazing hand, our two tournament chip leaders have just collided to leave one with a monsterous chip lead and the other going home early.

Dale Eberle raised under the gun to 30,000 before Steve Fager reraised to 75,000 from on the button. Eberle made the call.

The flop came {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

and Eberle checked. Fager then moved all in and Eberle snap-called, tabling {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

for quads! Fager was disgusted as he revealed {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

.

The turn and river landed {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

,

{A-Diamonds}

, and Fager is eliminated in sensational fashion as Dale Eberle surges to over 1.1 million in chips and a commanding lead over the field!
