Gator Takes a Bite Out of Wiedemann
Level 26
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
In late position, Barry Wiedemann opened with a raise, and Frank Hernandez shoved all in for 255,000 from the button. Wiededmann called, and it was another coin flip, this time for Hernandez's tournament life:
Wiedemann:
Hernandez:
The flop that the dealer spread was bad news for Hernandez, now reduced to six outs to stay afloat in this thing.
Turn:
Well, that'll do. The gutshot comes in for "gator93", ensuring that he'd stick around and leaving Wiedemann dead to a chop. The river means Hernandez gets the whole pot, though, and he's doubled up to 578,000 with that straight.
Wiedemann has slipped to 660,000.
