Fuchs Eliminates Two More Players

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Florian Fuchs
Florian Fuchs

Just moments after Sebastian Benoit sent most of his chips to Florian Fuchs in a cooler hand, he got his last 470,000 in the middle holding {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} but ran into Fuchs' {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}. The board ran out {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Benoit went from one of the leaders to the rail in a matter of a few minutes.

Fuchs' heater didn't stop there, as the next hand Ondrej Jkubcik shoved all-in for 630,000 from early position and Fuchs called directly to his left. Fuchs was ahead with {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} against Jkubcik's {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Fuchs went full house over full house again as the board ran out {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

"I guess if you're going to run good, this is the tournament to do it in," Fuchs said as he stacked chips to over 4 million now.
