Franklin Fizzles Out

Tom Franklin
Tom Franklin

"Come on. Can't you just call?" That was Tom Franklin a few orbits ago, lamenting his table's aggressive preflop play. "Let's play after the flop some."

When you get down around 10bb though, you don't have too many moves left, and Captain Tom moved his stack in preflop with {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}. Peter Traply found {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} and made the call with the covering stack, and Franklin's tournament life was dependent on a flip of the coin.

He called heads and it came up tails. Board: {7-Clubs} {A-Spades} {5-Hearts} {J-Spades} {9-Clubs}

That's a poor result for Franklin, and it's ended his day with 38 players left.
