Fast Under Starting Stack; Le Busted
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Dietrich Fast raised to 4,000 from early position and saw a three-bet to 12,500 from his neighbor John Power. The action folded back to Fast, who put in the extra chips for a call.
The flop then came 8♦5♦9♥ and both players checked. On the A♥ turn, Fast checked to Power again, who opted to bet for 16,500 this time. Fast made the call and the 6♥ river subsequentially completed the board.
Both players checked again and Fast tabled A♠J♠ for a pair of aces. Power had that beat, however, as he turned over 9♠9♣ for flopped top set. He raked in the pot and knocked down Fast to under 20 big blinds.
On another table, Ken Le's seat card laid in front of his empty seat, signaling his elimination from the tournament.
