Weigel's Last Stand

Pascal LeFrancois was in late position and raised to 35,000. Frank Weigel, who was in the small blind, reraised all in for 135,000. LeFrancois made the call and showed {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.

Weigel was far behind with his {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. The flop of {5-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{7-Clubs} provided no help. Weigel's chances became even slimmer when the {5-Clubs} hit the turn. Looking for a queen on the river to stay alive, Weigel patiently waited as the {8-Hearts} sealed his fate.

Weigel was eliminated on the hand while LeFrancois is up to 600,000.
