Fohrenbach Finds Double

On the turn with the board reading {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} we found Kyle Speake pushing out a bet only to have Ricky Fohrenbach moving all in.

Speake made the call holding {A-Clubs}{6-}, but it would be Fohrenbach's {J-Spades}{9-Spades} that would put him in a can't lose situation.

The {Q-Spades} on the river only improved his hand as Fohrenbach moved to 400,000 while Speake slipped to just under 100,000.

Both players checked as the {8-Diamonds} landed on the turn as both players once again tapped the table.

When the river landed the {K-Spades}, Olsen pushed out a tantalizing bet of 22,000 which Frederiksen called before mucking when shown the {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} of Olsen.

Weinberg Wins It With Rockets

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

After getting it all-in with the shorter stack of Alati Richard, Max Weinberg proudly tabled his {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and waited for the dealer to do him justice. Richard held the {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and needed some help to stay alive in the tournament.

The dealer revealed a board of {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Weinberg's pocket rockets held up, eliminating Richard from the field and padding Weinberg's chip stack in the process.

Mizrachi Defends, But Busts

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Eric Mizrachi
Eric Mizrachi

Christopher Goggin opened to 20,000 from under the gun and Eric Mizrachi made the call from the big blind to see a {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop fall.

With only 75,000 remaining in his stack, Mizrachi pushed all in and Goggin instantly made the call.

Goggin: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Mizrachi: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}

With MIzrachi needing an ace or nine to stay alive, the {7-Clubs} and {5-Hearts} on the turn and river would ensure that he was bumped to the rail as Goggin moves to 710,000 in chips.
