Case Deuce for Fujita

Level 8 : 100/500, 1,000 ante

Matthew Davis shoved all in for 25,000 from the button and Donald Fujita made the call in the small blind with the big blind folding.

Fujita rolled over {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} in bad shape against Davis's {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.

The flop fell {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} with Davis still in the lead. That changed on the {2-Clubs} turn with Fujita needing a four on the river to stay alive. He did not get it with the {k-Clubs} ending his tournament run. "Man, that's so crazy... I folded ace-deuce," said another player at the table.
