Eric Hicks Eliminated

Eric Hicks' day is over. He moved all in from the big blind after Jeff Wiedenhoeft open-raised from late position for 75,000. Wiedenhoeft called the all in and was ahead with his {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

against Hicks' {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

. Wiedenhoeft was pumped when the flop came {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

, but looked skywards in agony when the turn came {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

to keep Hicks' chances alive. A harmless {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

hit the river, sending Hicks to the cage to collect $41,295. Wiedenhoeft now has about 400,000 chips.
