Ray Fishman made a pot-sized raise to 280,000 under the gun, leaving himself only 50,000 behind. Michael Rodrigues called in the cutoff, after which Fishman's final chips quickly flew in on the 9♦9♣A♥ flop.
Ray Fishman: K♠Q♣9♠8♣
Michael Rodrigues: A♠K♦Q♠6♣
"I knew it!" Dennis Weiss exclaimed upon seeing Fishman holding his beloved nine.
"It's not over yet," Fishman replied.
Fishman's caution appeared to be correct as Rodrigues turned a better three of a kind on the A♣ turn, and the 3♦ river could not save Fishman from his demise.
"I had a feeling the ace was coming," Fishman stated as he departed the tournament area.
