Field Day for Fields
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Mark Darner opened to 45,000 and got a 60,000 three-bet from the player immediately to his left, Joseph Fields, sending him to the tank. He took so long to decide what to do that a player at the table wanted to call the clock. Before the floor could come over, Darner announced all-in for 310,000.
Fields, covered, called, putting his tournament life at risk.
Joseph Fields: A♦K♣
Mark Darner: A♣Q♠
It may have been what Darner expected: that he would be behind. The flop came 5♥K♦6♠, pushing Fields further ahead. Darner couldn't catch a break with the 2♥3♥ runout. Fields scooped the pot, leaving Darner down to around two big blinds.
