Paul Pitchford raised to 42,000 from the button, and small blind Jeppe Bisgaard moved all in for 194,000 total. The call would represent almost all of Pitchford's remaining chips, and he took a good long soak in the tank before announcing the call to put Bisgaard at risk.
Showdown
Pitchford:
Bisgaard:
The flop pretty much ended any drama, and the river left Pitchford drawing stone dead. He was already cutting out his losses as the meaningless filled out the board, and he'll be left with just 13,000 lonely chips with which to try and stage a comeback.
