Eric Hicks Felted

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Murat Tulek raised to 6,500 from under the gun, a player in middle position called, and Eric Hicks moved all in from the button for approximately 20,000. Tulek made a pot-sized four-bet, the middle-position player folded, and Hicks and Tulek tabled their hands.

Eric Hicks: {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Murat Tulek: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}

Tulek had the preflop advantage with his aces, and Hicks needed help from the deck in order to preserve his tournament life. The board ran out {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, which wasn't what Hicks wanted to see, and Tulek took the pot to stack Hicks.
