Ricky Fohrenbach Eliminated in 6th Place ($142,821)

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Ricky Fohrenbach - 6th Place
Ricky Fohrenbach - 6th Place

Ricky Fohrenbach entered the pot from the cutoff to 120,000 only to have Allen Bari announce, "I raise... to 4 million!"

Once the blinds passed and the action returned to Fohrenbach, he deliberated for nearly ninety seconds before making the call for his 1,720,000-chip stack.

Fohrenbach: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Bari: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

With Fohrenbach holding the lead in the race for his tournament life, the {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop switched Bari into the lead but still left Fohrenbach needing any queen, ten or seven to snatch it back.

The {3-Spades} on the turn did little to change the hand, and when the {2-Diamonds} completed the board, Fohrenbach was forced to hit the rail in 6th place collecting $142,821 in prizemoney as Bari moves to roughly 8,000,000 in chips - virtually three quarters of the chips in play!
