Defending Champion Falls

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Dennis Fleig has been eliminated from contention meaning there will be a new champion this year. With just 10 big blinds behind, Fleig called all in on the turn of a {j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Clubs} board holding the {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and was up against the {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} of Brad G.

The {a-Hearts} fell on the river giving Brad G a set of aces and it was enough to send the defending champion to the rail.
