Pospiech Scores Double Elimination

Level 18 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

The preflop action escaped us, but we do know it resulted in a big three-way all in between Danny Illingworth, who was all in for around 70,000; Alex Queen, who had 236,500; and Marius Pospiech, who had Queen covered by a single T500 chip.

Illingworth: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Queen: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Pospiech: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Pospiech and queen were racing for a big side pot, while Illingworth was looking to get lucky to claim the main. The {10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop did little to help Illingworth and Queen, and neither did the {3-Diamonds} turn. The {6-Clubs} river was safe for Pospiech, and he was able to send two tough opponents to the rail.

"I had 16,000 two hours ago," Pospiech said with a big smile. "I was grinding a really sick short stack."
