Denton Pfister Eliminated in 9th Place ($19,259)

It was a short day for our second shortest stack.

Nenad Medic called from middle position and John "Tex" Barch raised to 40,000 near the button. Denton Pfister re-raised to 120,000 and Medic folded. Barch made the call.

The dealer wrapped the table then flopped {6-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {A-Spades} . Pfister only had 37,000 behind and moved all in. Barch called and the hands were turned up:

Showdown
Barch: {A-Spades} {2-Clubs} {K-Spades} {8-Spades}
Pfister: {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}

Barch's two pair was in the lead, and the {K-Clubs} on the turn didn't change anything. Pfister received no help from the {4-Spades} on the river either, and was eliminated in ninth place.
