Ewenstein Next to Go
On the first draw, Ewenstein drew three and his opponents two each. Both live opponents checked, and Ewenstein and Fisler took two cards each. Quach took just one and made a follow-up bet. Fisler called and took one more card. Quach stood pat while Ewenstein drew two once again.
At showdown, Quach turned over 9-8-5-4-3, and that was good enough to beat Fisler for the side pot. In the man pot, Ewenstein lamented the fact that he broke the exact same ninety-eight to draw two cards. Leaving himself with 5-4-3, the first card was a beautiful eight. The second card was no good though for Ewenstein as the ace he pulled left him headed for the door in 19th place.
With 18 players remaining now, the field has been redrawn and recombined into three tables of six.
