Leif Forced Out

Lief Force
Lief Force
With a raise in front to 3,600, Leif Force pushes all his chips in--3,600 more. His opponent makes the call saying, "I hope you don't have a pair," and tabling {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts}. Force shows down {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}.

The flop comes out {6-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {J-Hearts}, putting his opponent ahead with a pair and a flush draw. The turn is the {Q-Clubs}, giving Force some additional outs to catch up.

"Put a high card up there, dealer," he says, as the dealer runs fifth street, the {10-Hearts}.

"Yes -- UGH!" he said, as he realized that his rivered straight was no good against the flush. Force is sent to the rail, and the eliminations are coming fast.
