Franco Spikes Two-Outer to Eliminate Ding
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Biao Ding and Thiago Franco were involved in a pot that saw Ding all in, which Franco covered.
Biao Ding: Q♥Q♦
Thiago Franco: J♠J♦
Ding was in good shape when the board showed 2♥2♦7♥K♦, but there’s always the river, where an all-in player’s hopes are either kept alive or crushed with a brutal beat.
The later occurred when J♥ appeared on the final street. Franco let out a resounding, “Yes!” in celebration. Ding, however, looked dejected as he gathered his belongings before heading to the rail.
