After a player in middle position opened for 4,500 before the flop, the player to his left shoved all-in and Ricky Fohrenbach asked for a count before announcing that he was all-in as well. The initial bettor folded his {A-}{K-} face up and Fohrenbach tabled the {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. His opponent held {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Fohrenbach went to the flop looking to avoid the two nines left in the deck.

The final board revealed {J-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and Fohrenbach's tens held up, doubling his stack to over 120,000 chips and placing him near the top of today's leaderboard.
