Freit Train Derailed

Level 5 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Ivan Freitez and another player were both just eliminated by a third player. The Venezuelan, who won the EPT Grand Final a few weeks ago, was all in and managed to make a wheel while the other short stack made two pair only for the player who had them both covered to river a king-high straight to scoop.
