One Half of the Goertz Couple Still In; Bergeron Busted

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Not long ago Stephanie Goertz was eliminated when a nasty nine on the river cracked her pocket queens. Instead of heading down to the casino floor, she has opted to sit nearby and rail her husband, Jim Goertz, who is doing quite well after recently eliminating Brian Bergeron.

When we arrived, Bergeron had 8,000 out in front of him and was debating what to do with his remaining 21,900 as Goertz had raised to 35,000. Eventually Bergeron decided to go with it and discovered he was on the bad end of things.

Bergeron: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Goertz: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

The {k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop was no help to Bergeron, and neither was the {K-Diamonds} turn. He needed a queen and a queen only on the river to stay alive, but it wasn't in the cards as the {7-Hearts} blanked. Bergeron was eliminated on the hand while Stephanie watched he husband chip up to 160K.
