Forca Gets Paid by Giordano

Laura Fryer
Laura Fryer
Level 28 : 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Russell Giordano opened from under the gun and action folded around to Michael Forca moved all in for his remaining 370,000. It didn't take long for Giordano to call and the players flipped their cards and went to showdown.

Michael Forca: K♦J♦All in
Russell Giordano: 9♥9♠

Forca was looking to the board for help and flopped a flush draw after the 7♣3♦5♦ was fanned, but still needed to hit to stay alive.

He didn't have to wait long as the 2♦ turn was enough to put him ahead and the A♣ river sealed him the pot, saving him from elimination.
