Fawcett Is Flowing Again
Justin Fawcett, in the room where two days ago the bracelet ceremony for his winning Event #85: $600 Ultra Stack was held, is at it again.
Fawcett knocked out two competitors in three minutes, to up his chipstack to what would have been the second most at the recent break.
In the first hand, Luis Manzo went all-in against Fawcett, who had Q♠Q♦ that held.
Jimmy Setna was the victim in the second hand.
With a little over one million chips in the pot, Fawcett bet 450,000 from under the gun to a board reading 5♠7♦Q♥6♦ at the turn. Setna raised all in with 2,075,000.
Fawcett thought about it, talked about it, saying he knew was behind but it was time to gamble, so he made the call.
Jimmy Setna: 5♥5♦
Justin Fawcett: A♦K♦
"Whoa, it's worse than I thought," Fawcett said, when he saw Setna had flopped a set of fives.
But the river was still to come and the 3♦ landed to give Fawcett an ace-high flush and the massive pot.
